Mixed Media Tags by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share some mixed media tags with you!

Here's a reminder of the gorgeous mood board this month.

I used the blues, aquas and purples from this beautiful board.

So here's what I created.

I used Distress paints and distress inks, along with some gorgeous chippies, textures and die-cuts.

I created a second tag, along the same colours.

Here's a close-up too.

In both of these tags I also used some gorgeous stencils from Design Worx.  The chippie in this second tag is also from Design Worx.

I hope I could inspire you to enter our challenge this month! The prizes are fab as usual!

Happy Boy by Päivi Jänkälä

I just love to make boyish layouts and got so inspirered to do one by this months awesome moodboard.

For my layout I have used papers from 7dots studio, chipboards from Blue Fern Studio and Creative Embellishments. The arrow shipboard I can not remember where it came from. Stencil is TCW.

The stencil I used together with acryl paint and Finnabairs Texture powder.

And here is this months moodboard.

Established in 2000, 7gypsies has enjoyed being a part of the craft and scrapbooking industries. 7gyspies has taken a few journeys along the way, with the caravan’s final destination with Canvas Corp. 

a bit of the 7gypsies story…

A young architect who wanted to be a painter met an Australian school teacher with a penchant for collecting things. They married and traveled the world together, having 7 kids on 3 different continents. As age mellowed them, they settled in the southwestern US and began designing for the scrapbooking industry, drawing upon a lifetime of traveling and experiences. 

  

The Canvas Corp family welcomes this amazing brand, with a penchant for preserving the original inspiration behind the brand.  This catalog brings together vintage and brand new 7gypsies products.

the gypsies today… 

With a focus on preserving the inspiration for the brands and the product line, the 7gypsies development team has designed a number of vintage inspired collections that have a look of the past but are relevant to the creative market today. We have converted a considerable amount of products to production in the USA, while continuing to source world-wide to find the most exciting products, designs and technologies.  We are excited to release our most exciting collection Architextures™ which is going to take the 7gypsies brand in many wonderful new directions.
