It's time for another challenge at The Male Room and we want to see your Mixed Media cards this month. This challenge is just perfect for me as I do love a bit of mixed media and regulars to my blog will know this is one of my favourite ways of playing with our hobby.
I started off by using a gel press to create my background and some Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Salvaged Patina and Victorian Velvet. Once it was dry I white embossed one of Alison Bomber's stamp sets EAB30 for Paper Artsy Stamps and the William Shakespeare words from that set. Why Shakespeare? Well that will become clear when I tell you about the sentiment!
I also added some extra texture with some texture paste through a small leaf stencil by Creative Expressions.
The leaves are Tim Holtz Thinlets called Leaf Fragments. They were in my stash as the result of another play with the gel press and some Pixie Powder from Cosmic Shimmer.
I stamped a tree from Lavinia Stamps on the far left and attached the leaves. The sentiment is a quote from Shakespeare - it comes from a little pack of cards I found recently which I had bought about 20 years ago for hubby as he loves Shakespeare. Each card has a quote and information on where that quote was used. I think this one really suited the leaves falling off the trees. It is taken from Shakespeare's King Lear.
I'm adding this into the following
