Our mission for today was to use fabric on your card. I covered a panel in a random fashion with 3 different prints. I then applied a light coat of gesso over most of it and rubbed gelatos around the edge. In a few spots I used mesh tape and rubbed modeling paste that had been mixed with a reinker. The little houses are colored with copics except the rust colored one for which I used a memento ink (didn't have the right color copic..must do more shopping!!).

Really pretty. I like the colors you used on your background. Those little houses look neat all in a row. What really caught my eye first was the button and twine.

I can always pick out your cards, Polly. You have such a way with collage and vintage and this is no exception. Fantastic take on the MIX challenge :-)

Love this! Even when the kids are all grown and living in their own homes, Mama still watches over them. All your elements create a fabulous piece!
