I have a fun challenge for you today. I have a tendency to take myself too seriously. I try to control my art rather than just let it flow. I wanted to go back to something just for fun. I know this is not new. I remember doing it with my mother over 45 years ago. The challenge is this to use an ink pad and your thumb and create a character. A thumb body. I did a mouse. Thumbprint for body with finger tip prints for ears. I added a tail and whiskers with a graphic marker. You could make a mouse like me or maybe a teddy bear. Or maybe use colored ink and make your thumbprints into flowers. Just remember for it to be mixed media you need more than 2 different mediums. I added some little watercolored flowers to my mouse and put him in one of my art worship journals.

Cute card and fun challenge. I actually have a stamp set for thumb creatures. We have a house guest this week and I have no creating time :-( - today we have a day trip planned. Just as well as there is also a scheduled power outage for the morning.

This was a fun, fun, fun, challenge. Thank you! Here's my card.
