CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - JUNE

Welcome back to another challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media.  Please remember we are a Mixed Media challenge and as such want to see at least 3 different mediums on your projects - not just paper and ink.

I'm sharing a canvas I have recently completed for a competition.  Our area WI (Women's Institute) holds a competition for all the WI's in the area and their theme this year is Beatrix Potter.  My entry is going in as part of our group entry which includes someone else baking and decorating a cake, some knitted items, some embroidery, some jam and my canvas.  Fingers crossed - I'll let you know how we get on!

My canvas size is 8# x 10#.  I covered it first in various paints from Tim Holtz.  I then added some texture paste through a stencil and added extra colour.  The stamping is from various stamps from Tracy Evans.  The Peter Rabbit has been cut from an image and some extra coloured added to him.  

The little pot is from moulded clay and then stamped with a stamp by Tracy Evans.  I dried it around a jar to give it that dimension then added dried litchen from the garden. I've also added a dried twig for it to sit on.

THE MALE ROOM CHALLENGE #188 - ANIMALS

Our challenge this month at The Male Room is animals.  I've chosen a stag's head from a stamp set by Bipash BK for Aallandcreate called Safari.  I thought the stag's head with the tie was a very male sort of image.  I used my gel press to create the background - adding some extra stamping, and texture paste. The image was stamped and then cut out and edged with Distress Ink with some brown thread behind it. 

I'm adding this into the following challenges

INSPIRATION STATION

A lovely beach scene to inspire you this month from Inspiration Station.   It's been a long time since I was last on a beach holiday - way before Covid and to be honest I haven't felt the urge to go on a plane yet to have another one.  We are lucky in our part of Wales to only live 30 minutes away from some of the best beaches anyway - the only thing we can't rely on is the weather - especially this summer! 

My card uses a few stamps sets - an old one from Stampin Up with the lovely deck chair, the sea creatures are from Kaisercraft - the little hat and the flip flops are very old SU wooden stamps and the leaves are from Tracy Evans. 

I'm adding this into the following challenges:
