This week's Mixability challenge is to make some modern art using at least two colouring media and doing something a bit different than your "norm".
I usually treat images pretty literally so my "difference" is to use a rose image with non-flowery colours and crop it to make it look quite abstract.
I heat embossed in black on black card and then used metallic markers and pencils to colour the sections. Some are just pencil so they're a matt finish, others are metallic marker shaded with pencils so those have a sheen. I kept the setting very simple as there's a lot going on in that twinchie!
I set out with the intention of making a masculine card but I'm wondering if this turned out a bit feminine in any case - what do you think?

I think this is stunning Joanne! I love the abstract quality of the flower, along with the colors and the shimmer. The placement of the image on the card is wonderful and I love the hand drawn frame!
