  Happy Friday....

....Welcome to a new challenge at

Creative Artiste

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.

The leaves are changing colour and spilling from the trees. I took inspiration from the rich, warm colours to create this little canvas. 

The canvas board measures 7"x 5" (18 x 13 cms). And I used one of my favourite techniques to create the Autumnal background.

1. I started by scribbling wax crayons on the canvas to give an ombre effect.

2. I then used my heat tool to melt the wax, rubbing it with a tissue to blend the colours together.

3. I used texture paste and a Tim Holtz stencil to add the flowers.

4. I created the leaf colours with Brushos and water.

I used the old Stamping Up set French Foliage to stamp the larger leaves and fussy cut them. The three smaller leaves in the front are die cut using an old Docrafts Dinky die.

I glued the arrangement of leaves onto the canvas with Prima 3D Matt Gel to give dimension and added  some rusty wire behind the leaves.

The sentiment is a Chocolate Baroque stamp on card I'd coloured with Brushos.

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.
