May Mixed Media Challenge

Intro:

If you love working with mixed media, you're in the right place! Not sure what mixed media is? Well simply put, its the use of wet art mediums to add texture, dimension and interest to your projects. It's one of those no rules categories so you can have lots of fun making a beautiful mess or create your finest masterpiece! So, grab your favorite mediums and lets have some fun! ~ Dawna

Prize:

At the end of the month, if there are 6 or more players, there will be a random drawing chosen at Random.org and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 SB Gift Certificate! Good luck everyone!

April Winner Is: Jen E

Here's a sample of a layout that I created using texture paste, clear gesso, blooms sprays, and some lovely sprinkles:

hello!

What a beautiful layout, LaToya!!!

Here's my submission for mixed media...a retirement box I made for my brother...I used textures paste, paints, crackle paint, patina, micro powder, medium for gluing and sealing, diecuts (for texture) and lots of metal elements!

Oh my what fabulous projects! Hi Vivian! LaToya thanks for introducing yourself and sharing your fabulous lo with us! I've added your name to the participants list, so feel free to post in this challenge any time you'd like. Elizabeth what a work of heart! Your brother is going to be so surprised, how fun! Are you having a retirement party for him?

Dawna, they are giving him a surprise party in California a week from this Saturday. I so wish I could be there. I'm going to ask them to video when he opens mine. Thank you so much for the compliments!

I would love to play. Just made this today.

Thank you everyone! I had one for last month but I couldn't figure out if it was mixed media enough so I didn't post it. I didn't use gesso or any of that stuff. Now I'm back to thinking that it might be. Oh well, here it is:

Beautiful projects ladies! Kaye Mokley is so darling and your lo is fabulous! Nicole your lo is so colorful and happy, well done! La Toya love Art is fabulous too! Unfortunately since it was posted last month, it's not eligible for this months prize drawing. But it's perfectly fine to share you work here, so please no worries, it's all good!

Am I too late to join? I'm not very au fait with mixed media, but I gave it a go for one iNSD challenge, so I'm up for another try if you'll have me?!

Rachel we're delighted to have you give it go and share your talent with us! Looking forward to your wonderful project.

Wow Vivian, What a masterpiece! I love the background work, and the colors, just fabulous! Going in for a closer look!

Such beautiful projects!! Thank you, Vivian, for the visit to my brother's retirement box! Headed for a closer look.

Not loving the sun/water image but at least it got used - some oxide ink blending, stamping and splattering

Oh Lis, I love the sunset on your card and the great sentiment and design too!

I like how the green and blue watercolors turned out on the pinkish-brown dotted bg paper. It's hard to see but there are some light smushes of metallic gold paint. Used colored pencils to tint the tires on the car and the purple feather, which I colored over with a bit of alcohol marker.

Lis, I like your card and your layout!! Nice work!!

Here's a card I made for my sis-in-law using my new Moroccan Tile stencil I got here. I used five different Tim Holtz Distress Inks and the domed foam applicator tool, also from here. I love those. They are so sturdy and ink so nicely. I also used Zing clear embossing powder over all before it dried. Bejeweled lace is from Aliexpress and the sweet digital watercolor image is from Florariumka on Etsy.

Dawna, I see you added my retirement box project to the photos but my name is not on the list of participants. Don't know if that matters or not. :-)

Here is my LO for this month:

Happy Mother's Day to all our great Mom's today! Oh my, we had some amazing projects posted yesterday.

Lis your so sweet, thank you! I love your background work too. Kind of reminds me of the Aurora Borealis with it's green, blue and gold shimmer, so pretty!
Elizabeth how on earth have I gone this long and not put your name in the listing. Well I fixed that, so thanks for bringing that to my attention. I LOVE that Moroccan stencil, it's so pretty. Actually my kitchen back splash is the same shape, lol! Yes, I do love a classic quarter foil design.
Tina so nice to see you! Love your lo, especially the title work! So fun, left you some gallery sugar.

Enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day! All caught up on love.

Here's another project showing my first ever card made with texture paste on it! I also used microbeads on the top edges of the tags that are slid into pretty lace appliques.

Elizabeth what a fabulous card, so beautiful! Love the flourishes and texture paste, very creative!
Here's my share for this month. There are a lot of layers to this tag, but it did start out with some stamping and inking, then some embossing.

Thank you, Dawna!! LOVE your pretty tag!!
