Creative Artiste #128 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creative Friends 

It's Anything Mixed Media Goes @ 

Creative Artiste July's Challenge #128 

A just for fun piece and a trip down memory lane.. 

July was an exciting month as a child, the end 

of the school year, six weeks of holiday, outdoor play 

and family holidays... Taking the long route down to 

Devon/Cornwall admiring the stunning scenery.. 

My page consists of paint splodges and scrapes, 

and painted scene with stencilled sun and rays. 

The car is a TH wacky transport die, cut and layered 

multiple times, very similar to my dear great uncles🤣

Art yarn and lace add dimension with hand embroidered flowers 

resembling the bank of Heathers seen along the way.. 

*Happy Days* 

Hope to see your mix up of media creations @ 

Creative Artiste Challenge #128 ~ 

Anything Mixed Media Goes... 

Plenty more to see from the Design Team HERE

Stay safe & Creative

Bumper Edition..!! New Paperbabe Stamps and Blog Challenge..

 Hello Creative Friends 

Three new Paperbabe stamp sets are due for release on 30th July 

including Hand Written, Mystic Adornments and Mini Hands. 

Each set works in harmony together and cleverly co-ordinates 

with many other Paperbabe stamps in the collection.

Here's a Bumper sample introduction.. 

First using just two Hand stamps and a Hand Written stamp quote..

Manipulating two clear hand stamps curving around the heart surrounded 

by quotes from the Hand Written stamp set and the other with just one 

simple hand holding a message of unity in a clean and simple style. 

Combining stamps from all three sets the postcard design inspired me to 

stamp, hand embroider and create a needle tag book with calico and thread. 

Just a handful of samples using the NEW RELEASE STAMPS.

Today see's the start of a new Paperbabe Stamps Challenge 

why not pop over and see what the Design Team have created 

and share your makes @ Paperbabe Stamps Blog Challenge #173 

There's a prize for one randomly chosen winner every fortnight. 

Stay safe and creative

Spring change

Creative Artiste ~ March Mixed Media Challenge #80

 Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste's March Challenge #80 

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month my Design Team project uses fabric remnants, with a focal 

Daffodil cut from card, stitched and painted. A wool wrapped curtain 

ring represents the Corona or more commonly known trumpet. With hand 

woven button as the stamen it makes a bright statement of Spring.

The fabric scrap background is embellished with beads, stray threads, 

sequins, lace and buttons, all drawn together with needle and thread 

in both machine stitch and hand embroidery...

I loved watching it's design immerge and grow, 

it's incredibly tactile and so cheerful...

Turned into a mini wall quilt a gift for Mother's Day 

I hope my Mom will find it uplifting all year round.

What ever your creative choice of medium, be it a mix of fabric remnants 

embellished like my own. Paper, paint and stencils on a Journal background 

ATC's, mixed media cards, Tags or inventive altered projects we'd love 

you to share your mixed media creations with the Creative Artiste Team. 

Pop on over HERE to see what the DT have created to inspire you. 

I hope you will join our Creative Artiste March #80 Challenge 

and please remember it's always *Anything Mixed Media Goes* 

Creative Hugs and best wishes

Creative Artiste December Challenge ~ #78 Anything Mixed Media

Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste ~ December Challenge #78 

our theme is ALWAYS *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month i'm sharing a Festive pocket Journal

Created using cardboard packaging, wrapped and edged with lace, 

with a salvaged holly sprig cake decoration, felt die cut poinsettia 

embellished with seed beads, bow and button all handstitched in place.

Inside it holds gift and card lists, December reminders and to-do's 

and has been invaluable keeping me focused in the run up to Christmas. 

We @ Creative Artiste look forward to seeing your 

*December #78 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes* creations..

Stay safe & Creative

From one little Star..

Hello Creative Friends,

I hope you are all keeping well and your Christmas crafting is completed?

Mine has had many false starts this year and i'd given up on my handmade 

Christmas cards resorting to previous years leftovers and charity cards. 

...but whilst looking for an embellishment to add to a tag I came across this 

die set. Loving the shape of the large star I just had to see how it all cut.

Lost in the moment with the aid of some Mercury Glass glitter glue 

and visible image sentiments before I knew it I'd created Christmas Cards, 

Tags and Carrier cards for my handmade Christmas Tree ornaments.

I even made a batch of New Year Cards.

The hammered cream card on Kraft looks so fresh and clean.

Who would have thought that one star could have inspired all these.

I'm already thinking of making more of these it's certainly sparked an idea... 

is it wrong to be thinking of Christmas 2019 before the Joy of 2018..?

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend what ever your plans,

For me it's time to decorate that Christmas Tree..

Creative Hugs Tracey xx

**Happy Mother's Day**

Today in the UK it's Mother's Day a day to reflect and give thanks to our 

closest and dearest as well as rejoicing Mother figures all around. 

 I'm sharing last years Mother's Day makes with you today just in case 

the Mom and Mum in my life hasn't opened theirs yet.

**Happy Mother's Day**

The cards have been created using Hobby Art Vintage Flowers stamped 

onto a memento ink wash background and coloured using ProMarkers.

The Jewellery is my handmade Rosary style necklaces, using semi precious, porcelain, pearl and lampwork beads all linked together using wire, each link handcrafted individually.

             The MDF bunting is from the Stamps Away Collection with stamps included 

and finished off with corner embellishments.

                  

        I'd like to wish Mom's, Mum's and those that play the role of being one, the happiest of days and remember those that are no longer with us with the kindest of hearts. 

What ever you are doing today, I wish you all a day of Sunshine..

Hugs from Tracey xx
