Mixed Media Challenge with Stampendous and my worst mistake ever


There is a challenge, a cheat and a life changing art method in this post today. I don't know where to begin!

Art method: I have been creating a giant taboo with my acrylic paints. I had NO IDEA I was tearing apart my projects in the process of laying down my paint. I'm mortified! I'm not sure the exact search I started on about acrylic, but when I came to "Worst Mistake Acrylic Painters Make" my search ended and I went out and bought some new supplies.


I have mediums sitting next to my painting case and I'll never thin them wrongly again. Whew! I think they like me again.

A Challenge. I'm hosting the MIx-Ability challenge this next week! Check out the challenge below!



 A Cheat. Stampendous has these amazing collage stamps. They have new ones almost every release. It's incredibly easy to create mixed media style cards in minutes when you want some creativity in a short amount of time.

 My card uses Eiffel Collage Cling Stamp from the April 2014 Release. There are also some great samples that were posted this week by my Stampendous teammates using more of the collage stamps from Stampendous.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...

Color Fragments are sprinkled over Deep Impressions Embossing Powder along with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel and heat set from the back of the project. (That's just so the fragments don't soar off the page and to the floor.) Now for the Sc...
