January days and nights... appreciate everything

 Hello Creatives 

Best wishes to you all for 2026 

Our first week has brought freezing temperatures, 

snow, ice and storm Goretti ...

Those freezing nights I've taken advantage of a little slow stitching...

finishing a hand felted oak leaf embellished with embroidery and beads

completing a tactile cover for my new 2026 journal

First page I share a mix of media, using paints, die cuts, 

pastes, pencil and pen...

depicting the scene outside my window after my dog and I have 

taken advantage of making our own marks in the snow.. 

Love the crunch of footsteps through fresh snow 😊

*expect nothing and appreciate everything*

Wishing you all happiness and much creativity 

Hugs Tracey xx

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

Creative Artiste ~ May Anything Mixed Media Goes #104

 Hello Creatives 

Welcome to Creative Artiste May Challenge #104

our theme is always *Anything Mixed Media Goes*

This month I share a simple Journal page, creating texture 

by embossing the page using an embossing folder layered with 

metallic paints inspired by nature, overlaying with embossing 

powders which I heated up to fix and add extra dimension... 

Reminding me of an aerial view of the coast line 

I added a Peacock Butterfly taken from a salvage napkin. 

I tore, pasted, cut then embellished it's wings adding glossy 

accents and then fashioned wire into little antenna feelers. 

Finished with a quote that worked like poetry in motion: 

*Stop to see the beauty along the way* 

We hope to see your beautiful creations @ Creative Artiste
