Welcome back to another challenge at Creative Artiste where we want to see your Mixed Media entries please - remember to use a multitude of mediums on your piece and let us know what you've used.
I threw lots at the background of this tag but once it's finished you can hardly see the background. I find it very hard to cover up the backgrounds so am really trying to let go as they say. This one does have some paste and papers behind all the details.
I found a scrap of paper I'd kept from a Somerset Studio magazine of 2021 where they give you papers to use and the one I chose was made by Lynne Moncrieff. It has the words To Myself on it. I knew I wanted to incorporate that scrap of paper somewhere in my tag and that's what gave me the colours. The butterfly was from the same sort of paper and I've given him centre stage sitting on a piece of real bark.
I've also added some dried umbel seed heads - thanks to Alison Bomber for giving me the confidence to use dried flowers on my pieces. I now find myself hoarding lots of dried grasses!
A look through Tim Holtz Ideaology clippings book found the perfect sentiment of "Give me a few moments"... to go with the saying already there.
I'm adding this into the following:
NBUS - adding natural elements to my work
TAGalong -
Papercraft Crew - Masc, Wood, Nature
Try it on Tuesday - Deep in the forest there are butterflies, bark, flowers
Make my monday - things with wings
