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

 Hello Creative Friends 

Welcome to Creative Artiste's 

Anything Mixed Media Goes ~ FEBRUARY CHALLENGE #68

This month I have an altered notebook to share with you BUT 

before I do may I say I lost a whole weekend early January 

cutting and water colouring these stunning colorize blooms, 

my main focal this month and I loved every second of it..

I digress.. oopps now where was I..? 

Oh yes onto those altered notebook how to do's.. 

First covering a plain notebook in Kraft card embossed using Tim Holtz 

Texture Fades 3-D Typewriter folder, I dry brushed with black gesso 

adding a tickle of gilding wax to highlight those typewriter keys. 

There's not many mixed media creations of mine that escape without 

the addition of lace and when teamed up with pearls it just adds to 

the romance.. The strawberries and champagne of mixed media.. 😊

Cutting out individual letters from the embossed Typewriter folder

I chose to spell the word noted as my intention for this book 

was to use it to document and sketch creative ideas.

Layered leaves, buds and rose with twisted wire and bead 

stems it just brought everything together harmoniously..

Complete with it's pearl & glass heart junk jewellery bookmark 

roll on spring so we can enjoy those pretty blooms for real !!..

Thank you for taking time to stop by today. 

I hope you maybe inspired to mix it up and share your 

Mixed Media creations with the Creative Artiste Team HERE. 

Take care everyone 

Creative wishes
