Gallery for today's challenge: MIX134
I know that when it comes to mixed media, there are all sorts of excuses why not to try it. Now if one of your excuses is ...
"It is
TOO expensive to buy mixed media products!"
Well, you won't be able to use that excuse. for today's challenge.
My challenge for you is to do a project using
smashed flower technique. (also called pounded flower technique.)
It was a Technique lovers challenge a long time ago.

Here is a video I made showing some of the flowers I smashed.

I can already hear some more excuses forming...
"I don't have flowers?" AND
"I don't have an embossing machine like a cuttlebug?"
Don't have flowers? Well then, smash anything organic. Grass, leaves etc...
Don't have an embossing machine? Well then try this variation.

Remember for your project to be mixed media you need to have at least 2 different art media on your project. Counting the smashed flowers as one of your mediums, you need to add at least one more. That could be as easy as stamping a sentiment with ink.
See, no excuses not to try mixed media today.
