Mixed Media Monthly Challenge | February Reveal

Happy Superbowl Sunday! GO PATRIOTS!! Hope everyone enjoys the big game festivities!! Have fun and be safe!!

Today is the start of a new month which news a new challenge over at

Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog. Our theme for this month is "Think Pink". 



 It's easy peasy - just incorporate pink into your project! I had so much fun using my Stampotique stamps for an earlier project so I used another one for this tag. I created a background using Dina Wakley's paints. I then stamped my Stampotique image onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored her in with Blendabilities markers.

 

 

Here's a close-up of the stamped image including a silver glitter heart I added for Valentine's Day ...

 

 

I used some washi tape for this lovely to stand on so the image doesn't look like it's floating ...

 

 

Our sponsor this month is the lovely Ellen Hutson!

 

 

 Ellen's online store is awesome and she is generously offering a $25.00 gift certificate to a lucky participant!

 

 

So, get your Pink on and join us in this month's challenge! We would love to see what you create! Have a great Sunday and I will be back tomorrow to announce the winner of my giveaway from the 5 for 5 Blog Event: Valentine's Day.  

5 for 5 Blog Event: Valentine's | Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event. Each day for 5 days our 5 Designers will post one Valentine's Inspired Project based on a theme. The theme for today is "Glitter". I created a fun card using some Stampin' Up! products. I fell in love with this adorable "Hey, Valentine" clear stamp set and it allowed me to practice more with my Blendabilities. I stamped the image on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it into a banner shape. I colored the cute fish with Blendabilities. I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Rectangle Stackable Die to cut a piece of paper from the "Let's Polka" 6x6 paper pad. I added a doily to the mix and here's my card ...

 

 

I used a Wink of Stella Brush Pen to add glitter to the heart and the bubbles ...

5 for 5 Blog Event: Valentine's | Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of our 5 for 5 Blog Event. Each day for 5 days our 5 Designers will post one Valentine's Inspired Project based on a theme. The theme for today is "Pink and Orange". I decided drag out my awesome Stampotique stamps and create a colorful mixed media tag. The tag base started as a mop up page from some older art journal pages that I was working on. Any stencils with paint or spray inks on them get wiped off onto another clean page which then starts another background! I added some
 Dina Wakley paint, gesso and black paint to complete the background. I then stamped my Stampotique image onto Neenah Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored this little lovely with Stampin' Up!'s Blendabilities! Blendabilities are alcohol based markers that allow for blending several shades of the same color.

Here's a close-up of the coloring ...

When using a "figure" image, it helps to have the image standing on something so it doesn't look like it's floating. I added some lines with black paint and some glitter hearts ...

I forgot how much I love these stamps!!! Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to check out the blogs below for more Valentines inspiration!! See you tomorrow for more 5 for 5!!
