Cherish....

  For my inspiration today I have been wanting to get back into the mixed media for while, and having spent the weekend watching lots of different artists, it has inspired me to get back into it.  I have thoroughly enjoyed completing my mixed media art tag.

I have used some old inks, gesso, 3rd texture beads, patterned paper, a feather, heshion, some sewing and stamps from Darkroom Door to complete my tag, which is on corrugated cardboard.  

There are so many things to cherish and be grateful for, now more than ever, so  when I found this very old chipboard title I knew that I had to use it on my tag.




supplies used:

Darkroom Door Stamp - Hearts
Darkroom Door Stamp - French Script
Darkroom Door Stamp - Robin
Ranger Archival Ink Pad - Jet Black
Ayeeda mists - Pastel Turquoise &  Pearl Turquoise & Patina Bronze

I hope that everyone is keeping safe in these uncertain and trying times and that you are finding time to be creative. 

Until next time - Happy Crafting

Fabulous you.....

Hi everyone, just dropping in today to share my card for the start of this months challenge over at Bizzy Becs.

What a strange, unpredictable time we are all sharing.  I do hope that you and your family are all keeping well and for the crafters out there, able to get a small amount of time to play on your crafty projects.

I have started re organising my craft space albeit very carefully as unfortunately last week I cut my finger on a mandolin and have to be gentle with it until it fully heals.

I chose my elements for my card for ease of use due to my finger and have coloured up the die cut using Distress Oxides.



Supplies used:

Sizzix Thinlits Tim Holtz - Wildflower Stems # 1
Sue Wilson Mini Expressions die - Fabulous
Pink Fresh Studio (Stamped Sentiment) - Just a Little Lovely
Tim Holtz Distress Oxides - Worn Lipstick,Tattered Rose, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn, 
Fossilized Amer & Ground Espresso

Thank you for taking the time to visit

Virtual hugs - take care

Until next time - Happy Crafting
