April/May Mixed Media Challenge

Some splatters, rub-ons, and stenciling

A tiny project (ATC) but at least I got it done!

Tena, thank you so much for your lovely comments on my layouts. I usually keep an eye on my favourite brands and make a note when new items are being released. Then I see if I can get them cheaper in a sale or on another website. I must admit I exceeded my self-imposed budget limit this month, but what the hell, I had to cheer myself up somehow.....

Petra, your "censored" page is brilliant...but I really must stop looking at your gorgeous pages as I start going down the rabbit hole for the supplies LOL (like I need one more single thing). I have lots of AALL & Create and Funky Fossil supplies now, I just have to start using them. I'm off to check out the rubber stamps, it's a good thing that some are available on Etsy, otherwise the shipping prices would prevent me buying. Thanks

Thank you, Dawna!

What a beauty Elizabeth, left you some gallery sugar.

Here's a tag with some Lunar Paste and inking around the edge! Also stamping!

Ladies your submissions this month have been fabulous! My apologize for being away so long, it's been a hectic month for me. I will try and do a better job of checking in as I really LOVE seeing all your fabulous MM work!

Using scrap panels (brayered using acrylic paint, stamped and ink smooshed, using DO inks) to die cut the tags for my BG.

Thanks Tena, yeah that is weird how they do it. BUT DANG IT, THAT'S ANOTHER SCRAPBOOK COMPANY I DIDN'T EVEN CHECK OUT ON NSD!! I guess my wallet thanks me I'm waiting on an ACOT order as well and have zero idea on when it will even ship. PSL has the prettiest collections and I love the paper thickness and even their sticker thickness. I used all of the stuff from that mystery box I bought that I thought I didn't really like but it is growing on me for sure! Thanks for the love on my layout LOL, it really does look better in person...but lately I am finding that my photos are getting lost in my layouts...I really need to figure that out. Maybe I should be printing all 5x7's or 8 1/2 x 11's

Kimberly, love the PLS products you used on your page. I just got 2 orders of PLS stuff, I really love the bright colors and fun words. But let me tell you I don't know if I'll order any of it again any time soon. I made my first order from their site online (of older collections) because a lot of stuff was on sale, well I didn't read the part about their PP is all made to order and they don't print it until you order it. I place an order on April 6th and received it on May 9th. I already had an order in over at ACOT a few days before, around the 1st of April and I knew everything was pre-order but was expected soon. I didn't get that order until a few days in May before the online one. Making sure I read all the fine print from now on haha, at least now I have lots of new goodies

I used Glossy Accents on the flower centers with glitter glass and inking.

I used Prima and Stamperia Moulds with DAS Modeling Clay, Metallique Wax on each of them, Embossing Powder with Versamark on the Reneabouquets Beautiful Board, Stamping, Glitter Glass, O Beads and RB BBeads.

Stenciling and Stamping

I used Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste on the corners and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Spiced Marmalade around the edges of the smaller diecut.

Did some inking, stamping (inside) and used Judikens Diamond Glaze to glue glitter glass down.

Dawna, thank you so much for your lovely comments!

Beautiful submissions ladies!

I used colored pencils on the boy and then watered it up a little to look like watercolor and stamped my phrase.

I used Prima Metallique Wax on the key, 3 different liquid pearls on the bird, stamping and inking.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Collage Medium to apply the napkin to the card and used Reneabouquets Diamond Glitter Glass on the roses as well as TH Distress Mica Spray.

LOL @Dawna.s Place I found that awesome paper pad and it really reminds me of 49 and Market and then I saw a DT on 49 and Market make a layout similar to that one and I had to try it and I am def not mad at it!! I loved how the frames turned out with using water acrylic paint and distressed oxides...us Virgos really must be attracted to teals bc it is def one of my FAVORITE colors! This one had some tears to it, I was really missing my dad yesterday when I came across this pic of us in 1998. Yesterday was his birthday and tomorrow will mark the 5th year of his passing and my heart is still Thanks for the love

Thank you so much, Dawna!

Wow what great submissions ladies! Elizabeth, purple is one of my favorite spring colors and I love that gorgeous image.

Besides stamping and stenciling (with transparent crackle paste) I altered the chipboard shapes (wheel and anchor) and heat embossed them using Seth Apter's Baked Textures.

I added some stickles and inked around the edges!

Ladies, sorry I'm a bit late getting this thread up. I'm afraid I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week. Enjoy your day!
