More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything Goes (opt. Purple)

Here we are in what is meant to be warmth and sunshine - however it appears that we have either gone backwards to early spring or flown forwards to late Autumn, the temperatures have dropped and Mr Sunshine seems to be in hiding. Perhaps it was because we had a Bank Holiday on Monday or because the kids were off school, but let's hope the warmth and sunshine return very soon.

On to this month's More Mixed Media Challenge DT project. This month's optional colour for the Anything Goes challenge is purple and it's a colour I adore using. This time I thought I'd go down the recycling route and after watching a couple of interesting You Tube videos with talented ladies doing art journelling on brown paper bags, I thought I'd give it a go.

I decided on one of my favourite stamp designers - Ching-Chou Kuik and love this image. It's called Dreamy Lily.

Thick White Gesso, Texture Paste
Gelatos in Deep Pink and Purple
Hero Arts stamps for background stamping,
Stazon Ink Black Soot, Ranger Distress Ink Old Paper, Marvy Matchables Deep Pink
Lozzy's digital papers from Fun and Funky Numbers digi packs (one fussy cut for green flowers)
Tim Holtz and Crafters Workshop stencils
Cosmic Shimmer Coloured Pearlised PVA and Metallic Gilding Wax
Ranger Distress Crayons, Spectrum Noir Glitter pens
Coloured thread,, Washi tape
Glittered sticker 'Best Friends'
Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils, Water brush.

I hope you enjoy my latest make. It was great fun to do and I shall most definitely be using recycled materials again in my mixed media projects.

As well as this being for More Mixed Media Challenge - Anything Goes , I'd also like to include this project in the following challenges:
