A big Thank You to everyone who entered Challenge #23 in February. 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 sponsored by our own DT member Judy who has arranged a prize of dies and stamps.
I have incorporated some stamps and a die in my project.
I started with a compass stencil and texture paste on an 8"x 8" (20 x 20 cm) base. I used watered down acrylic paints and some sprays to colour the background. Once dry I randomly stamped some travel themed stamps and then gave it all a white gesso wash.
I stamped and heat embossed the hot air balloon from Sheena Douglass onto watercolour card. I dripped on some spray colours and cut it out.
I created the rust effect border with acrylic paints and sand texture paste. The Harlequin die-cut is from Tim Holtz and was coloured with paints and inks. I layered on a piece of cheesecloth and dry brushed it with paint before fixing the hot air balloon in place with foam pads.
The embellishments are mostly from Craft Box. I painted some with acrylics and added beads to the wire bauble.
For the finishing touch I heat embossed the chipboard word with copper and gold powder.
