Early Release Wednesday

Gosh I used to hate them when my daughter was in school, but am kind of loving it on a glorious day like today.  Issues at my afternoon client, had to reschedule.....bummer.....not!  :)

Today I have 2 Tags to show you.  I made them for the Mixed Media Color Challenge # 5, purple, blue & green.  There are some really beautiful Mixed Media projects on this site.  My entry however, will not be one of the beautiful ones.  I just can't pull off this technique.  It's a tricky one for me.  If any of you have any suggestions or tips on making any kind of Mixed Media project please let me know.  I need all the help I can get.  I will keep trying so this might be the year of  'bear with me' .

Tag #1 (and my official entry)

Used the following supplies:  Paint, Sakura glitter pen, buttons, bottle cap, rhinestones, fibers, Gina K Designs stamps; Pretty Patterns 2 & Springtime Silhouettes, ribbon, butterfly charm, flower punch, clear embossing powder, hole punch.

Ran a piece of crafting metal through an embossing folder to capture the word JOY (my most favorite word ever!).  Added a ribbon tab, they really work well on cards too.   The small punched flowers are topped with small buttons and rhinestones.

 

Added paper piercing for the charm butterfly trail and traced the clear embossing with an orange glitter pen.

 

 

Tag #2   Once painted reminded me of Halloween so I went with that theme.

 

 

Supplies used:  paint, Washi tape, doily, border punch, mini clothespin, embossing folders, embossing ink, glitter, fibers, flower punch, Gina K Designs stamp set, Wicked.

 



 

 

I used a Picket Fence embossing folder and made this 'gate-like' feature, held closed by the mini clothespin.

 

 



 

When opened, screams.....Happy Halloween.  :)

 

 

That's it for today.  And any hints, tips, or tricks for creating a Mixed Media project is greatly appreciated.

 

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
