Anything Mixed Media Goes ~ Creative Artiste #123

 Hello Creatives 

Creative Artiste Challenge is BACK!!! 

February has arrived refreshed after the break and 

HERE to share my Design Team Mixed Media Creation. 

Sharing my love for mixed media, I adore adding lace into my 

projects, I think many of you know 😍 This journal page I've 

scraped paint and paste through a stencil, sprayed distress 

oxides teamed with dabs of gold paint. 

My postcard topper is decorated with torn papers, layered with 

rice paper remnants and washi. Repeating that stencil, paint 

and paste, flat areas I stamped and machine stitched, edging 

with lace, hand sewn blanket stitch and a trio of kisses.

Overlaid with a golden lace flourish, two paper cut hearts 

covered with glossy accents rest safe and cosy together 💖 

Myself and the Design Team hope you will share your love 

of mixed media and join our February Challenge.. 

There's so much more inspiration to see HERE @

Happy Crafty February

Every day is a Gift...

 Hello lovely creatives 

After the brightness the snow brought we've since had 

nothing but drizzle, damp and darkness.. boooo!!! but 

I've been blessed with a little bit of free time 

this week so trying hard to kick start my mojo I've 

combined a mix of new and old stash to decorate a tag. 

There's tea stained doilies, torn letters and tape collaged 

onto a tag, over stamped and stencilled with ink and paste. 

A large embroidered flower cut from a lace fabric panel 

adds opulence and romance alongside enamel hearts and 

heartfelt words 😘 edged with stitch and lace...

*Every day is a Gift*

Wishing you all a bright, beautiful 

and creative day Tracey xx

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 

February's #112 Anything Mixed Media Goes Challenge 

@ Creative Artiste

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 

@ Creative Artiste's #112 Anything Mixed Media Goes 

Pop on over HERE to see more inspiration from the Team

Take care everyone

Remember to LOVE yourself..

 Hello everyone

I'm sharing some love with you all today 

revisiting a tutorial from last year that I Loved 

hosted by the very talented Laly Mille. 

This time created in my February junk journal rather than on canvas. 

it's created by collaging recycled scrap papers each with hand written 

words of self care, love, gratitude and kindness to oneself. 

Covering those written messages with gesso and paint I drew a 

focal heart collaged and over painted again, doodling quotes 

around the heart, adding machine stitch on the page edge...

As Valentine's Day approaches it can be overwhelming, 

please remember to LOVE yourself... 

Take care everyone

Creative Hugs

Creative Artiste ~ February Mixed Media Challenge #79

Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste first Challenge of 2022

our theme is always Anything Mixed Media Goes... 

Today i'm sharing the beginnings of my February Junk Journal.

Created from recycled packaging, old papers and scraps

documenting my days like a diary with pictures...

As February is often related to the month of love, I'm filling my pages with 

things I adore and cherish, vintage scraps, washi tape, lace and ephemera 

held together with a fashioned flowery lace heart closure and wax seal. 

A handmade twisted wire heart embellishes a mini bookmark, crafted from 

pretty little scraps sewn together all just too precious to throw away.

This February Junk Journal's story has only just begun..

Whether you choose to use paper, paint and stencils, alter projects, 

create journal pages, ATC's, Tags, Cards and more if you create using a 

variety of media we'd love you to share your makes with us over HERE

Paperbabe Stamps ~ Anything Goes Challenge #160

Hello everyone

Time for our fortnightly Paperbabe Stamps Challenge 

with another *Anything Goes* Theme.. 

There's always a Paperbabe Stamps prize of your choice 

for one lucky randomly chosen participant over HERE.

On a grungy stencilled background stands a die cut Paperbabe Jointed Art Doll, 

covered in Vintage Doll patterned paper. Held together with metal brad fixings 

her die cut and stamped head stamp is coloured with pencil along with her 

pre-cut flowing hair. Hugging a large heart with die cut hands 

a quote by Van Gogh is stamped using the Alphabet outline set. 

*What is done with Love is done well...*

We'd love you to share your 

Anything Goes creations HERE

Stay safe and Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx

Sacred Sunday

Hello everyone, 

an impromptu post from me this evening having sheltered 

from the storms today, I hope friends in the UK are safe 

it's been fierce in so many areas. 

So huddled indoors, lost in the moment there was so much thrown 

at this tag. Using stencils, pastes, flicked and dripped paint 

and a rich rusty red heart as the focal, it shows off that super 

thin heart rhythm taken from Tim Holtz Heartbeat die..

Unconvinced after lunch that this was finished 

there just seemed to be something missing..?

some found cogs and gears should fix it..

now that's kick started that heart.. I'm happy now 😊

The poor light today really doesn't show this tags true colours 

but it was good to have a much needed play day and share the love. 

Take care everyone & stay safe. 

Creative Hugs 

Tracey xx
