Welcome to my December post for 

Creative Artiste

We are a 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 Challenge #32 in November. Your projects were fabulous and our winner has been announced on the blog. 

Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"

This month we are being sponsored by:

Scrapmatts and Papertole Australia

I have created an A4 size canvas. It was actually my sister's birthday present.

I started by fixing torn strips of paper from Prima's Epiphany pad onto the canvas and then stencilling with texture paste through Scrapmatts Lattice stencil. I then randomly added DecoArt Crackle Paste.

Next I dribbled colour and created runs with DecoArt Misters in red and black. I added handmade poppies, glass beads and some Scrapmatts Words.

Lastly I added a gilded Scrapmatts Ornate Frame and an embossed, stamped sentiment.

This is a month long challenge so you have time to create your mixed media projects and enter up to three times. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.

Our theme every month is the popular

"Anything Goes"

Our sponsor this month is:

Fred She Said
who are offering a $10 gift voucher for the winner.


I have made a pyramid table decoration for Christmas.

This design has proved very popular at my Trimcraft demos this season.

I started with three 8"x 8" squares of card. Each one was scored diagonally then glued together.

I covered the three sides with a First Edition paper from the Gilded Winter paper pad and inked all the edges with VersaMagic Sea Breeze chalk ink.

I chose the Dancing Penguin image from Fred She Said. I doubled the image and reversed one of them to create a cute couple. I printed out three pairs and coloured them with my Copics. I cut all the penguins out and fixed them onto the three sides of the pyramid with foam pads.

I decorated the sides with ribbon, snowflake die-cuts and a die-cut sentiment.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the wonderful projects and cards created by the rest of the talented team and to enter your
