Mixed Media April Challenge ~ Creative Artiste #92

Hello creative friends 

Time again to welcome you ALL to 
our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes

My April project is a mix of left over paint and paste scrapings, 
stamps and doodles, recycled packaging, fibers and plant waste. 


The glitter paste mosaic circle holds a rainbow of watercolour as 
washes of colour seep into the unprimed areas of my journal page. 
Acrylic leaves and flowers painted on cereal box waste are fussy 
cut all given a doodled edge then glued down to frame the pages.


Finished with a stamped and coloured funky fossil bunny 
peeping out from the long grasses created using leftover die cuts, 
fibres and cuttings from salvaged and pressed house plant leaves. 


If you love mixing your media why not share your own creations 

Whatever you are all up to this weekend
I wish you all a Happy HAPPY Easter 
Stay Safe and Keep Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

This is an adorable spread Tracey. That bunny peeking out from behind the grasses stole my heart. It works for spring and this weekend's Easter celebration. I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend too, and that your spring is going well. Take care. Hugs-Erika

Hi Tracey! I absolutely love the art journal spread you created - it is gorgeous and colorful. The background mosaic circle looks so amazing with all of your spring details. You recycled everything beautifully - I especially love that your flowers are painted on an old cereal box! It's great to see you back, too. Take care and enjoy spring. Hugs, Sharon

You have created the perfect spread, Tracey. Not only is it clever, colorful, and timely, it is recycling at its finest. I love how you used an old cereal box to create the flowers and some leaves. I also love that you used pressed leaves as part of your spread. Nice you were able to use a few leftover die cuts, too. However that amazing bunny peeking above the grasses was a star! This is a fabulous entry using Bleubeard's and my theme at Art Journal Journey. We love it!!

Happy Easter, dear Tracey.
