**SHARING SUMMER IG CARD HOP** Week Four - Sun, Sand and Sea Mixed Media

Welcome to the Sharing Summer Card Hop Challenge 4!  Hosted by @thatcraftygolden, we're thrilled to unveil this month's theme: Sun, Sand and Sea Mixed Media.

I've been trying to get myself back into watercoloring and mixed media and all that.  It's been awhile since  I just let loose and a lot of my supplies (like my sand paste 😡😢) are olllllld.  But I had a small amount of handmade watercolors from Etsy, so I used those and sea salt to create this background.  



Just a few challenges:


If this theme has sparked your creativity, we invite you to dive into the summer fun!  Share your creations using #sharingsummer24 and be sure to tag @thatcraftygolden so we can admire your work!

Thanks so much for looking and happy summer crafting!  Laters!!

I actually made this card out of old pieces left over from other projects.  Sometimes they look like crap, but sometimes they come out awesome, like this.

**TWO BY TWO** New Challenge with A Place To Start!

Happy March!  It's a new challenge at A Place To Start and our theme this month is Two By Two!  This does NOT actually mean to make a Noah's Ark card, it means use two of SOMETHING, ANYTHING on your project.

My card is a bit busy.  It has two mermaids, two layers of the frame, two pieces of seaweed, I couldn't stop myself.  There's things stamped on the background too but you can't really tell.

**STAMPING** - New Challenge with Mix It Up Challenge Blog!

Happy June Everyone!  It's the first of the month, and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge blog.  Our theme is month is STAMPING!  You all know how much I love stamping, and I'm in a bee phase right now, so I wanted to make a bee-themed card  I'm sure all the Winnie the Pooh cartoons I see while babysitting has subconsciously influenced this decision.  And I just love how this mixed media background I made with the negative space from a hexagon die came out.  It was a ton of work but very relaxing and the results were worth it!

Spread Color - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post for you today, and today I have a colorful mixed media peacock card!  I've been in a very artsy type of mood lately, and I was going to go a completely different way with this card when a friend mentioned a "marbled acrylics" technique she'd recently started doing.  Basically you scoop up Artist Acrylic Paint with a palette knife and just start spreading the colors around on regular cardstock.  I loved it from the minute I tried it.  Every single one comes out differently, and you never know how the colors are going to blend.  I wanted some shimmer so I did drip Liquid Glitter onto my paints before picking them up with the knife.  Such a cool technique!


The border piece of cardstock, I did the marbling technique on a piece of black cardstock.  The popped up accent piece that the sentiment and peacock are on was obviously blended on white cardstock.  See how all the colors blend to make new ones?  Love it!  You'll be seeing this from me again in the future!

The peacock is colored with my favorite coloring medium, Glitter Inks.  In person she just jumps off the card at you, she's so sparkly. The sentiment tag is colored with the same colors of Glitter Ink.

Everyday - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post

Happy Tuesday!  It's time for my latest Brea Reese brand ambassador post, and OMG I have a new obsession!!  Brea Reese Watercolor Creams!  These handy sticks have soooooo many capabilities, but my favorite (today anyway :) ) is to blend them with my finger on gessoed cardstock, then use a stencil and a baby wipe to remove some color.  Amazing results!  Check it out below:
