VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE

Ready for a new Mix-Ability challenge?!! We hope you're having fun with these! 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!

This week's challenge is to incorporate printed text, such as an old book page or even newsprint, into your mixed media project.


Remember to use the keyword MIX60 when uploading your creations to the gallery, come back and post a link, and let us "ooooooh" and "ahhhhhh" over your works of art!

Here are some samples to inspire you!

Here's mine:
Oh Happy Day by Jeanne S - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Ha! You wouldn't believe how many books I have acquired especially for my card making. I am so in on this challenge - but sadly I have to go to work first.

This challenge was a lifesaver for me. I'm always trying to figure out what to do with the background of all those marker colored images I do. What a mojo booster. Now I KNOW what to do, yay!

So this was a super fun challenge this week. Thanks Anna.

MIX60 Dream Text Jar Bouquet

In Michael's store here in the US I've found $1 books of classics (Huckleberry Finn, Heidi, etc.) to use. I married into a family that would have to disown me if I ripped open a decently readable book. :)

I had fun with this one, Anna...thanks for your wonderful inspiration.

Ooooh, one of my favorite things-I'm with you Sabrina and have PLENTY to choose from in the printed supplies category! We'll get our school day done fast so I can hopefully play along before DH and I leave for a much needed pastor appreciation dinner and overnight stay at a local resort.

Love this challenge!! Here's mine:

All That

My favorite kind of challenge Anna!!!

My mediums are acrylic paint and leafing pen.

MIX60 Sticks & Books by UnderstandBlue - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I'm inspired! It's actually been several years since I've participated in an SCS challenge, but all the gorgeous works of art I've been seeing by Scrapacat, UnderstandBlue, and others have piqued my interest. I'm heading into DH's office now to steal a book (shhhh...!). Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Great shares already this morning!

Here's mine!
I'll be bearing this challenge in mind tomorrow...no more crafting time today :-(.
MIX60 Mixed and Fringed

Here's mine for today - hope it qualifies for mixed media.

Poppy Thanks

Both my bg and flowers are made from book pages.
Book Pages Forever

This has been one of those (okay, 3 of those) days where I have plans and nothing on the list gets done because other 'fires' have to be put out first. I'm sure you can all relate! I am LOVING what I see in the gallery, and the sneak peeks did not do justice to the beauty of the full projects. Oh my! I'm so delighted to be part of this!

I have two!

MIX60 Woods Coffee
 

Anna- great challenge, I love re-purposing- and I used 2 paper coffee cups with their typed captions for my card. Stenciled 2 trees, and created a sponged sky. My distressed and colored mini panel on the lower left is from SU's Morning Cup set. Finished with a line of terriers- perhaps coffee drinkers :) Here's Woods Coffee

Here's my first try:

One of my fave things! Here is mine Blessed by cerridwen3301 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

MIX60 College Life
 

Was inspired to do an embossed card- dug out my QuicKutz nested heart die set- and embossed the fall campus image of Montana State Bozeman, along with the suggested list of dorm supplies- including Linens. Combined this with a stamping club project I finally got done today- and used 2 different woodgrain efs. Here's College Life - XOXO is for my college age kids :)

What a mess I came up with today and no good cards. I tried. Also, you can see the words, so that's a good thing, right? You should see the first one... by Luv Flowers - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here is my mixed media tag, I made it 6 hours ago and the black ink is still not dry???

MIX60 Houston, we have a problem by susie australia - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

My card is "mild" mixed media as in I used several mediums and mixed elements but it's not "out there" artsy. I used Ranger distress paint, distress stain, distress ink + several design elements.

Thanks for looking! :)

Lots of fun doing this!

Typed

Thanks for a great challenge. This one got me to do something new (use a real book page instead of stamping some text). I liked it!

IC433 Butterfly In Print

I worked today's IC challenge in with another card for this. Our library has a shelf outside for people to pass on books they no longer want, and I have acquired quite a variety from there for card-making, especially foreign-language books.

Managed to play this week! Here's mine:
