Creative Artiste ~ #117 Anything Mixed Media Goes

Hello Creatives 

It's time for July's challenge @ Creative Artiste 

our theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes.. 

The weather has been so hot already on our second heatwave 

as we tiptoe into Summer, Spring gave us so little rain, 

landscape/gardens have suffered but the wildflowers still bloom.

Here's my mixed media creation to display their beauty... 

On a gel print background stencilled and layered with washi tape I 

stamped wildflowers and leaves. Painted with acrylic paint I added 

die cut flowers found in my stash whilst having a micro tidy 😊 

already with a tickle of watercolour I exaggerated their 

presence with pencil, pen and gems.

 

The large purple flower reminds me so much of Malva which 

shows up in my garden no matter the weather and the 

pollinators love it. Finished with a word strip from TH 

paying homage to the wonder of wildflowers.. 

Come share you mixed media magic with the design team HERE

Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste first 

mixed media challenge of 2024. 

Creative Artiste #101 Anything Mixed Media Goes Challenge

My DT project this February started with a stamped 

Visible Image quote on a coffee stained linen scrap..

*When you feel like quitting think about why you started*

Stitched over and attached to a fabric panel I've glued, sewn 

and stained recycled materials, papers and embellishments, lost in 

the art of slow stitch and collage with Winter very much in mind.

The pincushion I made from a fabric gift bag, painted and layered 

with lacy scraps, ribbon and repurposed buttons. It holds lovely 

decorative pins gifted to me by a dear friend.

on the reverse side it's rich red velvet, creamy lace and pearls 

and more of those lovely decorative pins thanks to Anne x

all adding warmth and a touch of romance 😊 

This is the first page in my 2024 mixed media journal.

There's lots more to see from the Creative Artiste Design Team 

we look forward to seeing your February Mixed Media makes @

Inspired by an Angel

Hello Creative Friends,

You may have already seen this sweet Angel I received from my dear friend 

Dorthe isn't she heavenly.. Her rich colouration was my inspiration 

for today's shared creation...

During my New Year clean up I found these scraps of lace, threads and fabrics 

along with some left over Kraft tags from Christmas wrapping, it seemed such a 

shame to discard them as together they appear at harmony with each other.

Sewn lace on a hessian tag is enhanced using watercolour brush pens.

These new to me dies create beautiful cuts when using vellum.

The sewn on doily masks the clock face.. 

a simple message to embrace the moment for time is precious...

just like that handmade button my *New* obsession for 2019

Randomly stamped areas help give depth to those neutral colours 

with words from my favourite affirmations set Designed by Lynne Moncrieff, 

gently stamped onto tea bag paper and stitched into place.

A handmade embellishment made to represent the gifted Angel is sewn into place, 

how the gold of the ribbon matches the golds upon Dorthe's created Angel above.

Those handmade embellishments help put my personal stamp on it.

Completing my First tag of the Year.

I think this tag would make a super cover to a notebook..

Hmmm there's an idea in the making :))

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Creative Hugs & wishes
