Hi! My name is Tatyana, I'm from Belarus. I am 35 years old, married, with two kids. Scrapbooking fascinated me about 2 years ago. I create work mainly about my family, sometimes for friends.

Adventure By Kay

Good morning fellow scrappers!  Kay here with my interpretation of the February 'mixed media' challenge hosted by fellow DT member Mandy. When I see the term 'mixed media' I always think of 'messy fun'.  Needless to say I ended up going into the office for two days straight with blue fingers because of this page.  I ended up getting the dark blue mist onto my fingers & it decided to stay there for a few! 

Here I am with my cousin who visited me from my homeland of Chile just this past Spring.  We're standing on top of the Empire State Building taking 'selfies'.  The title of the page 'Adventure' is really meant for my cousin since visiting the USA was a first for her & a very memorable adventure.

Here's a recap of the challenge...

Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed. For this challenge, create a "mixed media" page, canvas, card, etc. using more than one medium. Example: paints, mists, textured paste, gesso, chalks, inks, rubs, embossing powder, and more!

 Let's see, I ended up using a couple of techniques & mediums on this page.  I used mists, inks, modeling paste, embossing & a touch of gesso. I also did some stamping which in my little world, I consider to be a form of mixed media as well.  It's amazing the different effects you can get from stamping.

I tucked a kraft bag behind my trio of photos & created a tag to store in it which holds my journaling.  The blue flower shown here was actually all white.  I spritzed it with dark blue mists & spread a bit of gesso on it.


 I'm a big fan of layers & tend to add them in abundance to my pages when possible--here you can see how the layers 'pop' off the page I bit.  I use foam dots to give my layers a bit of dimension.

 A combo of modeling paste, stamping, misting & inking.

 For the Molossi 'Bird Branch' chipboard--I didn't do much to it--I kept it in the raw since the natural color of the chipboard went with my page.  I just added some highlights to the leaves with a white gel pen & heat embossed the whole chipboard with Star Dust Translucent Embossing Powder by Stampendous.  This gave the chippie a shimmery effect that 'pops' off the page. 


 Now onto the prizes...

Molossi Gift Pack (Chipboard, Bling and Flowers)

Guest Designer - Sandra Przybylska

Hey Ho everyone!




How we are feeling? Today I have for you my take on the February Mixed Media Challenge.

But before that let me just introduce myself a bit ;) Some of you might already have met me as I was taking a part in the challenges and now I'm a social Media Coordinator here. ;)

My name is Sandra Przybylska, I started scrapbooking in July 2013 (yes - not so long ago) and I do love everything about it! I live in United Kingdom, but originally I come from Poland.
At the moment I design for 4 teams - Jelly Park (until April 2014) Scrap 365 Magazine Sketch Blog (until July 2014) Merly Impressions (no end date) and Craft Garden (no end date). I do like to work in advance. I don't know why, maybe because I just do like papers, inks, mists etc so much so I just cannot hold myself from not creating! I do Project Life, Art Journal, Mini Albums and of course Layouts. ;) You can find me on FB, IG, Pinterest and here is my blog !

Here is my take on the challenge:


and some closer looks:


As you can see, I used a beautiful tag and buttons sent to me from Marivic Clifton + lovely Molossi Dollie Chipboard which is our sponsor.

Mixed Media Canvas with Tracey

Hi there! Tracey here and today I'd like to show you my mixed media creation for Berry71Bleu's February's Challenge hosted by Mandy. 


Some close-ups:


When I started, I wasn't really sure how it was going to end up,which is what made creating this so fun!
I started with a plain white canvas and applied texture paste,using a Pink Paislee heart mask. I then glued a selection of diecuts including that cool lock die cut from our sponsor,Mollossi. The lace was from my thrift store stash.I misted with Lindy's Stamp Gang and Heidi Swapp products and randomly stamped using Something Tattered "April" stamp in black ink. I painted and crackled the Blue Fern title and added these beautiful Manor House flowers,also from our sponsor. Last came some Molossi bling, stash buttons and tattered Angels tickets. I hit the whole thing with some more random gesso and called it done!

Take a look at our challenge details to see what you could win if you play along with us and make your own Mixed Media creation!

Once Upon a Time by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today with a mixed media page that I created for Mandy's challenge Mix it Up with Mixed Media here.

I created a vintage page of my grandparents. I got this photo from my Aunt at Christmas time and really wanted to use it, as it was so very special! My grandparents were so young here and don't they make a handsome couple!!


I had some embossed papers leftover from my Zeus and Zoe DT kit which I stuck down to the card stock and then added some book page strips across these.  I then gessoed everything and then laid a stencil down and added some spray ink. I added some pen lines and stamping to complete the background.


I had a beautiful, vintage tag from Marivic, which was the inspiration for this page, as the lady in the tag reminded me so much of my Gran when she was young. I also used a gorgeous Molossi chipboard title, a beautiful Manor House flower and the fabulous glass accent flower by Art-i-cake.


Initially I was a bit worried as to the colour combination, but in the end I was thrilled with how the colours all worked so nicely together.  The combination really added to the vintage feel.


The chipboard title from Molossi, I embossed with copper powder and it really did come out beautifully!

Well I hope this has inspired you to play along! We would really love to see your mixed media projects.

1st Prize:
Molossi Gift Pack (Chipboard, Bling and Flowers)
