The Male Room Challenge #189 - Mixed Media

Good morning all, 

Welcome to this month's challenge from The Male Room. Challenge #189 has the theme of Mixed Media.

Mixed media is not something I do a lot of but I really enjoyed making these cards. I started with one sheet of A4 cut into four pieces and taping them along the edges with low tack tape.

I used Hickory Smoke, Broken China and Speckled Egg distress oxide inks to 'smoosh' the backgrounds. I found a tip online to use acetate as there is more movement in it and it worked a treat. I then used texture paste through the Uniko Raindrops stencil and added some colour over the top using my fingertip. I then randomly, partially stamped Stampin Up! Dictionary around the panels. I die cut the bicycles and clocks from white card and inked them with the same distress oxides. I then pressed parts of the die cuts into Versamark ink and added Speckled Egg Distress glaze. Finally I stamped multiple sentiments from Uniko Simply Said Blocks and Simply Said Blocks III stamp sets and covered them in Glossy Accents. 

So now it's your turn to amaze us with your mixed media creations. Join in the fun over on The Male Room blog and check out the fantastic creativity of the rest of the Design Team too.

Much love
