....Welcome to a new challenge at
Creative Artiste is a monthly challenge blog for everyone who likes to mix their media. So, as long as you like to use various mediums on your creations, we'd love to see you enter the challenge.
A big Thank You to everyone who entered the challenge last month. Your projects were all fabulous and our winners have been announced on the blog.
Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
We have opportunities to be a Guest Designer for all our winners.
I recently took an online class from
Art Workshops with
Bipasha K and we decorated a shadowbox. As I had two more smaller shadowboxes I decided to decorate those as well to made a matching trio.
One of the techniques involved heat embossing. Another was stamping and colouring flowers. I used these throughout the three boxes.
One of the steps was to insert a small LED light strip to illuminate the circular aperture. I also used twigs and Prima Artstones.
I used
acrylic paints and
crackle paste on the outside of the boxes. The tops of the boxes were finished off with
Tim Holtz Curio Knobs and twine.

I chose three Tim Holtz Paper Dolls to go with the three Aall & Create stamped sentiments.
It was a fabulous class and I enjoyed using the different techniques from
Bipasha to create this little set of shadowboxes.
