My New Gig......

I am soooo EXCITED to announce

that I have been asked to join the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge Design Team!

If you know me.....you know......I LOVE A CHALLENGE!

So lets' get this thing started......

This month's sponsor is StencilGirl Products and the theme is...

with a $25 Gift Certificate going to a randomly chosen winner.

Here is my take on this month's challenge!

I had lots of fun working with the StencilGirl products!

I wasn't sure where I was headed when I began this project

but I knew I wanted to play around with various mediums

through the Stencil Girl Products Stencils. 

 So, I pulled out a piece  a piece of

Canvas Corp Brands Specialty Paper ~ Boucle

some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist ~ Mountain Mist

and StencilGirls Products Centered Circle Stencil

for my first layer.

When that layer was dry

I pulled out my second StencilGirl Products Circle Tile Stencil

and randomly applied a layer of Deco Art Crackle Paste.

When that layer had finished drying I chose

StencilGirl Products Squiggly Sun Stencil

and spritzed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist ~ Navy Blue.

I then flipped the stencil over and applied to leftover

Glimmer Mist to the rest of my "background" paper.

Then it was onto the last layer, I again used the

 StencilGirls Products Centered Circle Stencil

and randomly applied Perfect Paints ~ Clear Texture Gel.

While wet I sprinkled in a bit Vintage Glitter Glass.

I have to say, I love the interaction between the Clear Texture Gel

and the Glimmer Mist...creating a color variant!

When everything was dry I looked at my background paper

and decided I would create a tag first.

I have to say, I just LOVE how the background paper came out,

JUST THE PERFECT amount of sparkle and texture!

Here are a few close ups of my creation.....

I did add a few more layers to my tag......

I spritzed on an additional layer of

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist ~ Precious Metals

and added a few copper seed beds for color. 

.....a little bit of wire mesh

a section of UmWowStudio Hexagon background chippie.

a flower and a bit of foliage

accented with a bit of vintage trim.....

finished off with verbage from

 Yvonne Blair Designs/IO Stamps ~ Card Sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed my creation
