MIUCB #63 DT inspiration for 1 January 2023

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

This personal paper-crafting blog post is featuring my design team inspiration for my commitment with Mix It Up challenge blog! #63 is about anything goes with an option of  'no stamping'. 

The MIUCB #63 runs from January 1-February 15, 2023. 

Off and on throughout 2022 I used a few acrylic paints and a gold glitter tempera paint for some mixed media experimenting sometimes with just dabbing and swirling and sometimes with stencils. 

I'm continuing to use acrylic paints and 2 stencils for a New Year's Day card. =

NEW YEAR WISHES

Vendor notes:

*The Paper Studio = gray and white buffalo plaid cardstock for the flat base

*Simple Stories = plastic 6" square snowflakes stencil sheet and a stars stencil sheet

*American Craft/Becky Higgins' Project Life 2018 = clock and 3 geometric print tag die-cuts

*lavender and white checked gingham paper = Hot Off The Press/Paper Wishes website

*star stickers, bright blue marker, blue ink stamp pad, 2 styles of silver alpha stickers, small foam brush and blue and purple acrylic paint bottles = stash
