MIUCB 1 July 2022 challenge new DT commitment

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My crafty heart is so excited because I was asked to join the design team of Mix It Up challenge blog!! YES!!! 

In 2022 the co-owners decided to change the format length of their challenges to SIX weeks which would create 6 challenges per year. I thought I can do this!!! :) 

With nervous anticipation I committed to getting my mixed media card ready in early June and hopefully wouldn't be last minute for the team deadline of June 20. Then nerves kicked in thinking about what to do.

Mixed Media Anything Goes card= I had placed a lot of purple, pink, and blue scraps plus washi tapes into my May 2022 kit that hadn't been used so that got me wanting to do a washi tape feature panel. And it spiraled into this---

a. marble-ized looking cardstock for the base; 4.5" wide and 7" high

b. pink cardstock panel is about 4" wide x 5.5" high

c. deep magenta pink cardstock scrap is behind the digital image (freebie I made for HQCB) that I had colored and waiting to be used; the image is only part of a larger multi-elements

d. layered stickers of butterfly and hydrangea with butterfly have been in my stash for awhile; but the mauve pink and gold butterfly is brand new and first of set to be used!

e. 4 washi tape prints (Pen + Gear)

f. silver metallic dazzle (Thinking of You is from Paper Wishes website)

g. blue glitter paint pen was used to outline the pink and the deep magenta cardstocks

re-cap of mixed mediums: different types of stickers (metallic and layered), glitter paint pen, colored pencils for filling in the digi, digi image, & 4 washi tapes.

DT card using CAS option=

On a recent Sunday afternoon, I got messy dabbing pink, blue, and purple acrylic paint around a sheet of white cardstock, trying to be random in placements every 3" or so. After giving it some dry time, I came back with gold glitter tempera paint that was dabbed or dotted randomly. I've still got the rest of the sheet yet to use!!!! The gold metallic "Hello" dazzle for a simple sentiment and keeping the layers just to the small paint focal piece as well as the short blue glitter decorative tape and a few more dots of gold glitter paint helped keep this Clean and Simple. Lots of white space.
