For the Love of Mixed Media

 Time for another challenge!  The Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge this week is about Mixed Media! 

We challenge you to create a mixed media project about or for someone /something you love. 

I spent some time creating a heart cut out of fabric tape.  I added a layer of goodies which are a mix of Idea-ology  embellishments, buttons, and baubles.  

I  used a lovely gold, pink and white paint mix to highlight and add depth.  The back is a vignette box painted with gold and embossed over with embossing paste. 

Please come share your mixed media with us! 

The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Sentiments

 Hi!  I have been playing with two new quote stamps from Darkroom Door. I love quote stamps and both of these are beautiful! 

This first one Light Remains is so lovely and will be perfect for a sympathy card.  Unfortunately we have lost some of our friends and family this year and this is a lovely reminder of them.  I am thinking how lovely this would be on a scrapbook page.

For the second card I just used a few soft wildflowers in the background.  The quote as the focal point.  


Next is the stamp Wild as the Sea and I wanted to pair this with some alcohol inks splattered like the bubbles in the froth.

I mixed in the images from the Darkroom Door rubber stamp set called Sailing Away along with a fishing net stamp. 

This is such a pretty sentiment and works well with the sea inspired images! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Funkie Frilly Valentines

 Happy Wednesday!   The new Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge is all about the Valentine!  The challenge is called Funkie Frilly Valentine!  Janna is hosting and she has asked us to create a frilly or funkie valentine.  

I was inspired by paper bag hearts!  I had a lunch bag sitting on my desk to be recycled and decided to hand draw some hearts and cut them out. 


After I had those paper bag hearts I just started playing with mediums and ended up here: 

I started by taking the paper hearts and spraying them with a mix of pink distress stain spray and antique linen.

After that dried I splattered with some white paint mixed with some water to thin the paint.  I let that dry and embossed the entire heart with clear embossing powder.  It gave the paper bag a beautiful translucent effect. 

After that I pulled out the beautiful gold leaf metallic effect from Prima Marketing.  This was embossed into the hearts to add a beautiful gold effect.  

I paired up the various hearts and created backgrounds using layering stencils and distress inks.

I hope this has you inspired to share with us your Funkie or Frilly Valentines!  Come join us in the challenge!  The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.
