My Love for Mixed Media!

Its been a while since I last blogged , I have always loved blogging my work but over the months that have gone by my crafting style has changed .... I will always create lovely handstamped cards for family especially the children but I just love the grungy , deep tones I can achieve when creating mixed media creations ... it seems to be where I feel most comfortable ! I love playing with colours and the best part of it is " IMPERFECTION IS BEAUTY" you can make MISTAKES with mixed media work its not got to be perfect... which suits me just right !
 
Heres a lovely little Domino Concertina Book I made recently using
  • Ivory Dominos
  • Pearl Dots
  • An Old Brooch
  • Polymer Stamps
  • Alcohol Inks
  • Matt Sealant
  • Card Stock
  • Ribbon
  • Silicon Glue

my card is called "war love letters" and i have used .....

3 - vintage ladies , 
2 - words "love" & Letters" 
1  - script background stamp

THE WILD CARD.....

Well here it is my card finished.... this card was not my usual card and heres why? well normally when i make cards i normally go for muted colours and when i got asked to make a card for a flame throwing woman in her 40's who loves bright colours , is very outgoing and chatty i knew i had to think outside the box a little ...so scooted through my papers and came across some kate knight papers ive never used and seemed to get the colour theme .... purple, Lime and orange.....

what are we thinking ?? (Leave a comment)

id like to also add this to a challenge on blogger ...

(click the above to join the challenge its on for 
the remainder of the month so plenty 
of time to create and post)

The challenge theme is "summer" and i thought the colours on my card suit this challenge well, my fingers are crossed for blog candy could do with more stash lol 
(cant we all its never-ending) x
