The mix challenge for today was to use 4 mediums. I just kept adding and I think I have more than enough so hopefully the challenge popo will not be knocking on my door. I used several dilusions spray mist for the background, stamped image with Stazon, added heavy gesso, put Inka gold over it, Colored image with copics, spread Spanish Moss over the sand to look like seaweed, added the shells and mixed in a few stars to qualify for the Free 4 All challenge.
I was going to use Mud Puddles Malibou Beach for my sand and the full jar was dried up. UGH!!! If there is a remedy to soften it up, let me know.

Sorry to hear of the Muddles Puddles drying up on you but you sure made up for it when you decked out the ""sandy beach" by adding your 'seaweed' and seashells. Your 'model' looks great in her bathing suit and umbrella ensemble! Love how you mixed all the sprays, gesso, and Inka gold to get such a standout look to your beach scene - you definitely ROCKED these challenges!! Hugs!

I don't know the answer to the dried-up Mud Puddles. I've had to throw out a couple of jars myself. I tried to add a few drops of water, but that really didn't help. Your card, though, is super! The iridescence really shows -- even on a computer screen.
