Creative Artiste Challenge ~ #112 Anything Mixed Media Goes

Happy February Creative's and Welcome 
to Creative Artiste first Mixed Media Challenge of 2025

Apologies I am indeed late with my new year best wishes 
but care duties are keeping me exceptionally busy... 

I'm so glad I managed to put together a DT project for 

Here's what I created and those *did's to do's ... 

On an old Gel plate scrap I added strips of torn washi tape 
and pushed modeling paste through a stencil, highlighting 
with gilding wax when the paste was completely dry.


Stamped onto a found fragment of tea stained linen 
I decorated with lace, buttons, machine stitch and 
three hand stitched woolen yarn kisses... 


Topped with a dry felted heart crafted using Tracy Evans 
snippet stencil which acted as both a guide and template 
I embellishing the completed heart with golden beads. 

Edging the journal page with very messy machine stitch in a 
high contrasting colour this concluded my Mixed Media Make.


I loved creating this project full of love in so many ways... 

I hope you find time to create some mixed media moments 
and please do come and share with the Design Team 

Pop on over HERE to see more inspiration from the Team 
along with two Guest Designers and to welcome our 
newest Design Team Member Emma 😊 

Take care everyone 
stay safe and creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

This page is so lovely Tracey. At first glance I thought it was much simpler than much of your art, but looking closely I see all those fabulous details. That felt heart, the messy stitches and the red yarn xs and great. I hope you're having a lovely winter and month. hugs-Erika

Hi Tracey, thanks for asking I am feeling better though it seems to be going on and on but from what I can gather there has been a lot of colds going round, think I got this when we were away. However visiting you always makes me smile, just love your art work. I know how busy you will be too but this is so gorgeous, the colours, texture and the lovely heart, perfection. Take care. Big hugs Angela xXx

A wonderfully romantic page Tracey. The softly coloured background with all those beautiful textures is so pretty and the little kisses perfectly balance the gorgeous fluffy heart xx
