A Dream is a Wish card

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media card using
Poppy Field by Creative Worship.  This is a great
stamp to use for a Valentine card. 

I'm using Distress Oxide inks along with stencils and stamps to create a 
card background.  The Poppies are stamped on white
cardstock and then cut out.

Adhere the flowers to the card front and then speckle with white acrylic
paint.  I use an old toothbrush for this.  Works great!
The products used are by Creative Worship (Vintage Elements,
Texture Tiles 1, Poppy Field, Birthday Word Art and Diamond Stencil.)
You can find these on there website HERE.

All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

RubberStampMadness Spring Issue 2025

 Hi there!
Today I'm sharing The Spring Issue of 
RubberStampMadness.  Especially the "Mix Vigorously" 
article by Sarah Hoban.  She nailed it! So good.

I got to provide artwork for the article and gush away about how
much I love to create mixed media art. I use Distress Oxide ink
and water it down and treat it like watercolors.  You can apply the 
ink with a water brush or dip your heavy, mixed media
cardstock in the colorful mixture of inks.

I used stamps from Darkroom Door, Blue Knight Rubber Stamps,
Katzelkraft, Paper Artsy and Creative Worship Stamps. 
Adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
I hope you will check out RubberStampMadness Magazine 
for inspiration!! It won't disappoint you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Art Journal Page ~ Spring Hugs!!

Hi there!
I did a mixed media page in my small art journal book.
It is about a 4X6 size.  Kinda like a tag size. 
All of the stamps I'm using you can get at Topflight Stamps.

I created a messy background using watered down
Distress Oxide inks.  I then stamped randomly over the area.
The stamps shown here are by KatzelKraft. I will list below.

The Rabbit is from the We're All Mad HERE by KatzelKraft.
It is stamped, colored and cut out.  It is adhered with dimensional
adhesive. 

The wheat is part of the background and is hard to see.  The sentients
are from Creative Expressions / Hello Spring.  You just cut them out and
adhere to your project.  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

The stamps by KatzelKrat are Les Nombres, Champs de bles,
Ephemera and We're all mad HERE.  You can find these products at
Topflight Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Media Tag ~ scenery stamps !

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media tag using red rubber
stamps by Blue Knight Stamps.  I love the little "pop in"
stamps that make it fun to create a "live" scene. 

The background is created using the Forest Stream & Mountains
stamped over a mix of Distress Oxide inks using  VersaFine Clair/
Shady Lane.  I usually stamp  in a black ink but this time went
with this green color.

I used a retired stamp called Rejoice Always to add a messy script
to the background.  It is randomly stamped in areas of the tag. 

The fun part is adding in the small Forest Animals.  I placed
the tag on the Misti, so I would be able to re-stamp, if need be.
I'm always glad when I do that!!! I used Archival/Jet Black for this.
The tag is speckled with white acrylic paint and than with a small
sponge I went around the edge of the tag.  The sentiment is from
the One Line Sentiments/Friends set. All adhesives are by
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

You can find these fun products and more over on the
Blue Knight Stamps here.

Mixed Media tag fun!

Hi there!!
I found time to create (even with being sick) and
I started with tags.  Today I'm sharing one using 
some of the new stamps (new to me) by Creative Worship.  I
love the vintage inspiration !! The labels are so fun and great to layer
for a background.  

I used watered down Distress Oxide inks along with stamps 
and stencils to create the background for the tag.
Then I stamped the silhouette flower over the background using 
the Misti (so I could re-stamp if need be) and I did!

Buttons and repurposed fabric were used for the tag topper.  The buttons 
are not new, they are repurposed also.  I love to use what I have :):)

The stamps used to create the tag are: Psalm 119 Wordfetti, Vintage Elements,
Psalm 23 BG stamp, Funky Textures 2, Authentic Faith and Nature
Silhouettes 3.  The stencils are: Mixed Up and Dots & Hearts.
You can find them here at Creative Worship. All adhesives are by
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I have two more to share so come back in a few days!!
Thanks for stopping by!
