I am still a beginner at this mixability thing. I used a stipple brush to put the kiwi paint on the paper. I also used a stipple brush to apply some of the teal ink and then I stamped the snowflakes in the same ink. I also stamped on the sentiments in tuxedo black. I diecut the triangles and cross out of felt. The only paper I used was the background cardstock. Today was fun, but I have to admit I need a lot more practice at feeling artsy instead of crafty! KWIM???

great card Liz, I think you did a good job....I think crafty is the perfect state of mind... It is fun to try different things though, but it sure makes a mess in my craft room when I do...lol

Liz, I had to smile when reading your deets. This mixed media is a little more difficult for some of us...its like coloring outside the lines. Love doing it....feels like I'm back in kindergarten when we weren't inhibited by rules. Your card is very artsy...love the bg with the stippling. tfs

It's beautiful, what are you talkin about??? love the snowflakes, they look like acrylic for some reason. I thought you glued them on your card when I looked at it until I read what you actually did, so that is really artsy I think!! Love your sentiment to!!

You did a great job with your mixed media, don't get discouraged! And I think it's way more artsy than craftsy! Really like your color choices and the layered crosses.
