CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA - #127

Back to another month's creativity with Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge - As a gentle reminder to be considered as one of our monthly winners you must use at least 3 different mediums on your project. 

I'm sharing another one of my tags from my tag book.  I think I may nearly be finished - I have completed 8 tags which is 16 sides and it's all looking quite bulky now - I do have 2 spare tags but I'm not sure whether to add them to the book. Once I'm finished I will show you all the tags complete.

I always add some white Gesso to the base of the tags - even though they are a thick kraft card I need to know it can cope with all the extra mediums I'm going to throw at it.

I added some Paper Artsy paint in Seaglass  and then went over it with some Texture Paste and a stencil.  I added some stamping from Alison Bomber and Bipasha BK from Aallandcreate in Versafine Pinecone.

I die cut some of Tim Holtz Funky Nature dies and inked them in Ground Espresso.  The butterfly is a free paper from Shawn Petite and I added some extra stamping to her wings.  I cut her on to some harder cardstock to give her some more strength and added some cheesecloth under her antennae.  There are extra papers and stamping underneath and then I used a sentiment from Craft-0-Clock which is just perfect for me as I tend to look back not forward.

I'm adding this into the following:

Paper Rocks Scissors - used everything bar rocks! 

Hearts Quest Tags 

Triple B Butterfly 

Daisy Chain Challenge - not square 

Let's Craft and Create - Use a sentiment 

Allsorts - from the garden 

Ellibelle from the garden 

Tag Along - text added to the butterflies wings and the ribbon beneath

LOVE TO CRAFT - #92

Here we are ready for another challenge at Love to Craft.  I'm sharing another tag from my tag book which I am currently working on with the theme of butterflies.  It has all the elements which I love to play with as a big Mixed Media fan.  You will see other examples of my book on my blog as I share some of them for other challenge groups I'm part of.

This one has used the Paper Artsy paint again in Snowflake and Seaglass.   I then added extra stamping by Alison Bomber and Creative Expressions. I have a lovely old set by CE which has signatures on it and I've used one of them here as part of the ephemera.  I cut out the lovely butterfly which is part of a free set by Shawn Petite and added it to some ephemera.  I stamped some linen and added it to the bottom of the tag.  The little tag sentiment is by Bipasha BK for Aallandcreate.

CREATIVE ARTISTE MIXED MEDIA #125 - TAG BOOK

Time for another Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge and we would like to see your Mixed Media projects.

I'm really enjoying creating little books and junk journals.  I seem to have so many cards that are just piling up with no-one to love them that I need a different outlet to be creative with.  Hence creating books.

This has been my latest project - a tag book.  It is still a work in progress and I haven't yet decided exactly how many tags I will add to the finished article but so far I have finished 5 tags double sided.  The tags are quite large 7" x 4" so are great to work with. I am doing all the pages as a nature theme and each one will have a butterfly on it somewhere. 

I've used various stamps by Tim Holtz, Tracy Evans, Alison Bomber, Studio Light, Creative Expressions to name but a few. I've added die cuts by Tim Holtz, Tim Holtz Idealogy, Distress Inks and Oxides, Paper Artsy paints.  Texture Paste is by Daler Rowney which is my favourite to use.  I've also used old book pages and various material pieces, linens and lace.  

I'm adding this into the following:

Outlawz - anything but a card 

Mix it up plus Die Cuts - Tim Holtz 

Lets Craft and Create - plus butterflies 

Birds Butterflies Blooms 

Allsorts- AG 

Tag Along - Butterflies, Blooms
