Creative Artiste #74 August 2021

A lot of the current Covid restrictions are due to be lifted in Wales this month. Booking is still essential for most of the local family attractions in order to keep numbers of people mixing to safe levels. As the weather is predictably rainy this weekend I'm just going to look online at activities to amuse our little princess.

Meanwhile ....

  ....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.

Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
We have opportunities to be a Guest Designer for all our winners.

This month I have done some colouring with a difference.

This is a small canvas board. It measures 5"x 7" (13 x 18cm). I scribbled all over it with Crayola wax crayons. I then used my heat tool to melt the wax colours. I used a clean dry cloth to rub over the melted wax and went back over some areas while the board was still hot to add more colour and reheat.

I used a white Posca pen and Aall & Create stencil #87 randomly over the canvas. I added some extra details and lines with the with the white pen and a black Posca pen.

I then splashed some gold acrylic paint randomly all over the board.

I decided to fill in the larger stencilled circles and used Versamark and Aged White Frantage to do this.

The canvas reminded me of how scattered my brain has been recently so I added a suitable stamped sentiment with foam pads.

Now it's your turn to have fun and create your mixed media projects. You can enter our challenge up to three times. A full list of the rules is on the challenge blog.

  5. What a fun, intensely bright canvas design. I have never heard of the crayon technique you did. It sounds so interesting and gives a great color effect. How fun that you felt it related to your feeling of a scattered brain lately. I definitely can relate to that.
