Mixed Media Monday

This weeks challenge over on Mixed Media Monday was to try something new.

This week the challenge to everyone is to “try something new”. That is completely open to your interpretation - it could be a new technique, a new medium or even a new colour. Just play and have fun with one. The sample above is the front cover of a fabric altered board book that I did for the challenge. The rest of the book is on my blog. Enjoy your week everyone!" So here is my take.

I took a small box and lid, painted them a "fuchsia" color with acrylic paints. I covered the lid with a floral paper from my stash. Glued part of a paper pink doily, pink pearls and flowers on top of the paper. I used a "Vintage Belle's" from a collage that I had. I then glued Beaded Fringe around the sides of the lid. I stamped "Sisters" onto a piece of card stock with Karen Foster Small Formal Snap-Stamps with black Stazon.

I can also use this for Wednesday's Stampers Challenge. I just realized that I am a day late. Oh well it was still fun.

Thanks for stopping by,

Day 3: Painting up the daises



This is part of the Summer Journal that Teresa McFayden is teaching this summer.
"A warm afternoon, soft breeze in your hair. You lounge on a cotton blanket beneath a tree, surrounded by daisies. A cotton ball cloud wisps across the sky. Before you, beside you, behind you, are winking and cheerful daisies. Can you imagine that feeling? Even better, imagine now that you have nothing else to do for an hour, but to study them."



Could you imagine getting lost in a daisy field watching them for hours. Doesn't it sound so peaceful and beautiful. I really had alot of fun making my field of daisies...

I love the quote that we used for this layout. It is by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

"One can get just as much exaltation

in Losing oneself in a little thing

as a big thing.

It is Nice to think one can be

Recklessly lost in a daisy."

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Isn't that just beautiful and makes you want to be in a field of daisies!

I just think my daisies turned out great. This is the first piece of "Art" that I have every painted..So I am proud of it.

Thank you for stopping by.

Love,
