Creative Artiste #103 April 2024

 ....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 wonderful 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.

Instead of making a sympathy card for some dear friends last Christmas I decided to make a small canvas instead.. I have made another, similar one, for my sister in honour of our much missed brother.

The canvas measures 7"x 5" (18 x 13 cm). I started by giving the canvas a coat of white gesso. I then splattered some watered down DecoArt Fluid Acrylics Cobalt Turquoise and Prussian Blue diagonally across the canvas.


I die-cut three feathers and lightly sprinkled them with Stampendous Frantage Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel. I heat embossed them by carefully heating the feathers from underneath until the powder started to melt before moving to heating from above.


I made a small resin heart and heat embossed it with the Shabby Blue enamel too. I then added a sprinkle of Stampendous Frantage Chunky Gold enamel to the heart and feathers and heat embossed them.


I sprinkled the canvas with the mix of Stampendous enamel powders and heat embossed it before tying the feathers together with a thin gold thread and adding them, along with the heart, to the canvas with soft matt gel.

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