HYCCT1427 - Thanks x 2
Challenge Title: Thanks x 2
Hostess: Tabbatha S a.k.a aislinnshannara
Keyword: HYCCT1427
Date: Monday, October 27, 2014
***************CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION*******************
One of the lessons of the unexpected is to be thankful for every moment, thankful for friends and family who support each other, thankful for so much outpouring of love, thankful to be able to just breathe.
Sometimes in our darkest hours can unexpected pairings happen. Two unexpected things coming together to create something wonderful. My challenge is to make a card expressing thanks or gratitude using a minimum of 2 mediums. This can be ink and paint, ink and sprays, embossing and paint, etc. Any two mediums of your choice.
For my card I chose to pair up Distress Stains/Inks and Embossing Powder. The thick embossing powder was further paired up with a wood grain stencil. Life might leave us feeling black and blue and red all over, but with the special people to help us through we CAN over come everything.

HYCCT1427 Thanks Friend
awesome challenge! I used sewing and stamping as my main elements- along with coloring, distressing and paper punches. Added some texture with rough twine and my felt pumpkin. Here's Thanks Friend

I'm hoping twine will count as a medium because that's what I used as my second medium on this, my second card for today.
Spirelli Thanks

Thanks Tabbatha for the fun challenge! I had fun "mixing" even though I had a few failures before I settled on this design:
Many Thanks in Fall

You know, I hate getting dirty actually and with this type of thing it happens a lot.  However, I wouldn't go as far as saying as that you have to do mixed media in the true sense of the word. It could be as easy as adding glitter to a stamped image, that is technically two different mediums themselves.  Take the idea and just let your creative juices flow.

Tabbatha - I LOVED this challenge!!!
Unlike Lynn  - I love CLEAN mixed media - I love that you can adapt any technique to your own personal style. That's why I love challenges.
I have had a pretty crazy week, and this was the very first time I got to be creative - thank you for inspiring me to take time to do something so fun.
Your sample seriously makes my heart stop - so gorgeous. And I love your bio!

This is the card I made for this challenge...I almost always make a camo card when I used distressed inks and I used a brown color for the embossing powder.

I had time to make another one really quickly tonight HYCCT1427 Espresso my Gratitude by JBgreendawn - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers ( just 'cuz I had happy mail and I have been on a coffee gift card holder kick the last few days) so, this is what I wrote to tuck into the back of the clear bag wrapper...
(You'll have to squint to see the "mixed media" on this one that's less than 2" in real life)
