Loads of layers Mixed Media

 Loads of layers Mixed Media

More on Loads of layers for Jennifer Rzasa #altenewchallengelive Tuesday challenge for Altenew.

For my tags and cards I did mixed media techniques.  So I collaged different pattern papers, rub ons, added little paper elements, ribbons, stickle glitter paints, texture pastes, enamel dots/self sticking gems, and layers of cardstocks.  Oh yes, the main layer with all the mixed media techniques are playing cards!  

 Yes, the tags have regular size playing cards, and the cards have jumbo size playing cards. I haven't altered playing cards for at least a year ... I forgot how much fun it is to alter playing cards.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon

Mixed Media Morsels #4

 Mixed Media Morsels #4

For my #4 MMM altered playing card, I kept it simple with some old stamps from my collection.  The little clusters of grapes is a Hot Potato stamp ... and yes, it is so old it is on wood.  The flower is from Endless Creations, which is also a wood mounted stamp.  It's hard to see in this picture but I did watercolor the three flowers ... that was the technique for this card.  Others things to do were use a security envelope ... done ... and a tag ... done ... add fruit/vegetable ... done.

Napkin journal cards

 Napkin journal cards

I decoupaged napkins onto jumbo and regular size playing cards to make journal cards.

For these journal cards I used Stampin' Up and Altenew stamp/die sets.  Also on these cards are TH vintage paper dolls over the flower napkin.  I plan on doing more napkin decoupaging once I get some more napkins with other designs.

Mixed Media Morsels - March

 Mixed Media Morsels altered cards (MMM)

stamps used:  Stampin' Up

My MMM altered card for March 2022 is finally done.  Took me awhile to decide what I wanted to do for this month.  As you can read in the description, the main theme was sweet, that was tough for me.  I ended up using two napkins (stars and flowers), then it hit me when I glued on the napkin flower ... a sweet hummingbird gathering his nectar.  

You can see past MMM altered cards for January 2022 here, and February 2022 here.

Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon.

Mixed Media Morsels altered playing card #2

 Mixed Media Morsels altered playing cards #2

This the second Mixed Media Morsels altered playing card or MMM for short.  You can click on the pic to make it larger to see all the prompts for this month's card. I used SU Whale Done stamp set and punch.  For me this is just a fun challenge, that is only once a month, so it is not overwhelming.

The group that is doing this challenge is Mixed Media Morsels on facebook.  You can find all the details there if you are interested in joining.
