Welcome to a next Mix-Ability challenge, it's Friday! Our goal is to make mixed media easy, approachable and FUN! We want to convince you that no matter what your style is - you can DO it!
Your projects can be any type � cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal projects, 3D pages.
I'm curious? What are you naturally drawn towards when you create a project?
Today's challenge is to create in ONE of the natural elements listed below,
OR
Design with a favorite style/color then find which element matches your project.
Fire = strong and forward (red, pink, orange, purple)
Water = soft and calm (aqua, turquiose, gray, silver)
Earth = harmonious and peaceful (brown, tan, yellow, russet, green)
Air = boundless and free-flowing (blue, white, gray)
Always have fun with the challenge, never feel like it's a homework assignment. Just be inspired to create!
Remenber to use the keyword "MIX83" when loading your project to the gallery.
Now for some amazing samples from Dina, Kyra, Jeanne and myself.

I had so much fun doing this! I want to do more with all the other elements before we move to the next challenge. I hope I get time! My natural start oozed into some of the other elements, too. I guess that goes with my schizoid brain!

I'm pretty sure I oozed, too. I did okay with earth colors, but then I started embellishing with paint splatters and swirls which I think added a layer of "air" to my earthy card.

Janelle- great challenge, thanks! I started out with earth, but my background spilled into water elements. Did a bit of fire with my magenta tie. I just love this rooster material from my last quilt binding! Added some texture with an embossed panel from my stash which I colored with a green pencil. Finished with a gingham green bow/floss/cord combo. Here's What's Cookin'?

First attempt ended up in the bin. Still have mixed (pun intended!) feelings about this one. But it was fun - that's a win . Thanks, Janelle.

I feel that this is a earth element design- dominant colors being yellow, green, orange and blue. I did the freezer paper applique approach thanks to my quilting friend Kathy- and stitched this at our ladies' quilting tea today in Bellingham, WA. It will be part of a pink quilt with 1930s materials
