Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Today is a new mixed media challenge and I'm so glad to be joining as your hostess. Here in the Mix-Ability forum we like to make mixed media easy, fun and approachable.
You can play along in a journal, scrapbook page, card or anything you feel like using for the challenge.
With spring upon us in the northern hemisphere my challenge for the week is to use a trio of spring colors in pastels or brights.
Mixed media is when you use two or more mediums on your project, so remember to think of all those different paints, inks, pencils, markers, fabric and embellishments when you create for the challenge. Don't know what mixed media is? Here is a thread about it, What is the Mix-Ability Challenge?
Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. Then come back to this thread and paste a link to the card in your gallery so we can all see!

Oops - I totally forgot to come back and link my first one, which was this: MIX164 Spring Sunshine
I'm sneaking this in too - I know there's a little bit of extra colour on it, but I was so pleased at actually doing something with the background I'd already stitched ribbon onto ;-). Hope that's OK!
Thanks for the Challenge First card I have made since Christmas due to caring for loved ones so it was so nice & relaxing to sit and colour an image & have so "me-time".
I used various mediums for my colouring: Lyra + Derwent Inktense + Faber-Castell & my scant supply of Albrecht-Durer watercolour pencils (I sooooo want more of them!!), Tombow pens, Winsor & Newton watercolours - and then added white acrylic paint with a dry-brush where I wanted highlights eg: on the eggs + the white parts of the bunnies. Any areas where the black outline was lost, I went over with a Copic fine black multiliner. Took me quite a long time as I am out of practice but it was very therapeutic.
Anyway, I have waffled enough - here is my card: Egg Painting
