Our Mixed Media Moods : Canvas Duo

Welcome to another rendition of Our Mixed Media Moods! ♥♥♥



It's a monthly collaboration between myself & Mixed Media Jenn where we pump up our youtube channels with high quality mixed media videos.

My YouTube Channel | Jenn's YouTube Channel

We are working from Jenn's beautiful mood board this month: 


There is so much to draw from on this mood board that I'll be doing a second piece to share with you! My first though, is a delicious little mixed media board duo. 

We also have a SPONSOR this month! UmWowStudio is sponsoring with a $50 gift certificate for one person who enters our challenge. Requirements : create a new project based on our mood board, link up via the links at the bottom of this post & be sure to mention us (with link) in your post! ♥

UmWowStudio is also offering up a discount code for friends of Our Mixed Media Moods : Moody25 gets you 25% off your order of Chipboard, Stencils & Flair! Expires : 1.1.17

My inspiration comes from the top row as a color scheme with a splash of blue. I also drew from the peeled paint / crackle texture, the fibers & rust from the spool of rope and the hazy effect of the foggy city with birds flying! Please enjoy the video, up close pictures & supply list ♥

She Was A Wildflower {80 artists tag}

Hello <3 <3

Welcome to my little corner today :) I'm excited to share with you that I have recently participated in an AMAZING collaborative effort dubbed Around the World with 80 Artists: A Creative Art Academy Arts and Crafts Adventure. 80 different amazing artists from all over the globe got together and worked on an elaborate book full of techniques and tutorials from beginner to advanced.. dabbling in mixed media, sewing, paper crafts and more.


Then the super awesome Mahe Zehra Husain put together this digital version of the book for everyone to download and read! What's more... it's FREE for a few short days. After that the price will be normal and proceeds will go to a fundraiser and getting the book published physically.

Can you guess what I may have submitted? A tag.. of course. I know right? But it's also a MIXED MEDIA tag with some of my favorite of supplies & techniques. Don't believe me? Check out this sneak peek:



Yessirree!!

UmWowStudio & Viva Las VegaStamps! Both prominently represented. So please stop on by and pick up your FREE version (time is limited!) of this insanely full book. PSST >> I'm in the 300s!

You can also pick this baby up on a few products in my Society6 store :)

The card I bring you today is a non-traditional color theme for Valentine's Day... but that doesn't stop it from being AHmazing! Packed full of goodness and lots of little nods and tips to a couple makes me anxious to hand this over to the Mr.! I am thankful that he doesn't mind a little frill, too... haha. Anyways.. here's my card!



The base for my card actually comes from a pack of card bases put out by Strathmore! It's a nice heavy watercolor paper and we all know... I love watercolor paper! So when I found these in my stash I promptly placed them on my desk... and they waited to be used. I layered the card with my Lost and Found collection for 7 Dots Studio. It's jam packed full of vintage toned and patterned papers. I utilized the 6x6 which brings all the 12x12 papers into miniature patterns.. making them perfect for card making. Even the 1+1=2 flashcard comes from the back of one my papers.



Before I glued down the mini flashcard, I stamped a Viva Las VegaStamps! (Early Morning Swahili) stamp in the background with Black Archival ink by Ranger. I also splattered some watered down gesso and Daler Rowney ink in the background. Then comes the gluing of some embellishments.. The giant two is a wooden piece I picked up from the Paper Issues shop in a pack.. I can't remember the manufacturer, sorry! The crown at the top is one of many crown profiles in the Crown Mash by UmWowStudio. It's been covered in Art Sugar by Finnabair for Prima Marketing. The XOXO alphas are by Tim Holtz.



THE OF US alphas are from an older line by 7DS. And the final gorgeous embellishment is made up of TONS of scraps of ribbons from May Arts. I've used Burlap Twine, White Silk, Paper Cording, Box Pleats, Satin Pleats, Mini PomPoms, Double Faced Satin, Champagne Crushed, and even a couple I can't name! They've all been clipped and layered then knotted together. I tied them to the card and then topped the embellishment with a piece from UmWowStudio's Circa Flair set. Don't forget to leave me a comment about my card!

You are onto Carisa Zglobicki next! 

Since we're all in the Valentines SPIRIT I'd like to invite you to join me in an online Valentine's Day themed tag class! Stay tuned in the next couple of days to find out more :)
