"I made it! I made it!", she said jumping up and down with excitement! Thrilled about the new mixed media challenges and so happy I got a few minutes to create a card for the first challenge!

My glossy accents finally dried so I could finish my card and get it posted. I'm a bit shy with my use of mixed media products, but I hope that changes soon because I have tons of supplies just waiting to be used in this way!
You can see my project

Well I got a late start on this - didn't get home for the day until 7:30 tonight! Ooof! Just painted some dp, waiting for it to dry and then I'll move on to the next step. :-)

I really do have glossy-ness and matte, just hard to see it.
I had so much fun I forgot to wash the foam brush and the paint dried in it. :rolleyes: Thanks Lydia for a fun challenge! You can bet I will back for the next one.

I am so jealous. I can't even think about playing until after work tomorrow. Very beautiful artwork, ladies. Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration.

Can't wait to get home from work today so I can play. I found my acrylic paints I haven't used in forever.

My crafting day yesterday got eaten up by stuff that needed to be done and stuff like a new box of Lego mini-figures at the toy store (but didn't find the sled I was looking for), the 90% off clearance sale at Michaels (scored 2 2-packs of gelatos for 20 CENTS each) and lunch with a friend. So made mine this morning, not quite what I was envisioning but I'm not entirely displeased.

Will be back to look at the gallery after I run to the market and take the kids out to run off some of their seemingly endless supply of energy.

OK, I tried. I really just re-worked an older version that wasn't even mine (Gratitude Simply Sent Kit), but focusing on the mixed media really pushed me to think.

Great idea for a challenge!! As coincidence would have it I was actually working on a project which will fit in this category. It features some of my ancestors from Sweden. I had fun making this..hope you like it.

Mixed media goes CAS
I suspect people are uneccessarily scared by the term "mixed media" when in fact they quite often do it without even thinking about it! Great to have a challenge that means it gets a bit of conscious thought
Joanne, that is exactly how I feel / felt. After reading the long intro thread, I realized that I already used mixed media occasionally. Now I will try to expand my horizons and include other types of media, as you say giving it some conscious thought. Glad to see you back in the challenges!

Yay! I actually got to play in the first Mixed Media challenge - even if a few days late. I made two cards.

This might just be my favorite new challenge! It's so much fun to try something new. Here's my first attempt at using gesso (thanks for the amazing tutorial, Lydia!):

I am super excited about these new challenges! I'm normally quite "chicken" to ramp up my techniques, so I'm hoping that I will be pushed out of my comfort zone! For this first challenge, I'm playing it safe, but am looking forward to learning more!! Thanks so much!!
