TSG Sneak Peek - Handwritten and Mixed Media Background Builder


WOW!! Day 4 already for TSG sneak peeksMixed Media Backgrounds from Tobi Crawford is perfect for all you Mixed Media crafters, but is also fabulous for cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects.


With the darn postal system, my stamps didn't arrive in time... Canada Post sucks!!! So I decided to use one of the sentiments from Handwritten and then used Gelatos that I swished across the sentiment and then spritzed it with one of the Dylusions sprays. Considering I was going for the mixed media look, I attached the image panel to the card with Washi Tape. 

Mixed Media Backgrounds is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 10 stamps and will sell for $15.00.
Handwritten is a mixture of fabulous fonts and styles, perfect for adding that personal touch to any card or project.

Just Dance


Hi there!!! It's been a busy week on my blog and I've finally had a chance to sit down to play with my new goodies from Stamping Bella. I have been wanting to get into mixed media and finally bought a bit of stuff to play around with it.  The silhouette images from Stamping Bella work perfectly for this. I decided to use the images called Happy Silhouettes.  I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then used Distress inks and Gelatos with a little bit of Inkagold. I then spritzed each of the silhouettes with some Dylusions sprays. I love how bright it turned out although I definitely know that I need more practice with this whole mixed media thing.
