Default MIX694 be a thumb-body

Hostess: MariLynn
Title: Be a thumb-body
Keyword: MIX695
Date: 5-15-26

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.

Make sure you add the keyword MIX694 so it will show up in the gallery Here

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.
