Have you ever wanted to create your own background, play around with some mixed media and get your hands all messy... Believe me it is such a free feeling and the inky mess ... well it will wash off... eventually...lol!

At ScrapChat Chelle Jamison is hosting a background swap and I just couldn't resist having a go... Time hasn't allowed me to get too creative but i had a heap of fun which is the main thing. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

Here is close up shot of the brights background swap.

 Here is a group shot of all 6 that I have completed.... none are exactly the same which is kinda unique.

Now what products have I used:

• Making Memories Paint
• Perfect Pearls powder
• Plaid glitter mod podge (gold)
• Viva, Croco and Ferro and Precious Metal paint
• Spray Mist
• Embossing plate
• Flowers
• Die cuts
• Stamps
• Iridescent medium

Here is the Earthy one... this one I didn't experiment too much with but had a bit of fun which is the main thing hey!...

Here is the Close up

Here is the group shot of them all.

These are very textured and had a ball creating an earthy feel to it...
Thanks Chelle for the inspiration and being part of a fab swap.

Hope this enspires you to create your own backgrounds, play and get messy. You just never know unless you give it a go!....

Tanyah's first attempt at mixed media goodness!

Can I say .........I have officially entered the world of Mixed Media... man alive!.............. am I in love with this world or what!....lol.....I guess I am a beginner when it comes to this type of creating but my first question to those who have been doing this for a while is.................. is their any rules??????????.....

well after a little search online this is what i found.....



So after a good laugh and realise that Mixed media is NOTHING to be afraid of but JUST FUN!... am I right? ....so I decided to have a go and this is what I came  up with on my first attempt.

After creating my master peice I decided to make  a hand made box using the score pal which has an attached closed lid where I have placed some card inside for a Gift to a very special friend. (the gift is opened now so i can share with you all) hehe

Materials Used:

• Maya Mist
• Viva croco transparent medium
• Tim Holtz  & Basic Grey Embossing plates
• Prima Flowers and Bling
• Pettaloo flowers
