Happy Friday! Welcome to Day #4 of the November Waltzingmouse SOAP.
There are lots of festivities going on at Waltzingmouse Stamps that you won't want to miss, so please be sure to visit Claire's blog (click HERE) for COMPLETE details. I've been taking a few Mixed-Media workshops from various talented artists, one being Christy Tomlinson. If you haven't seen her work yet, you don't know what you are missing! Christy shares an awesome tutorial on her blog, click HERE, on how to create a canvas like the one I've made below.
One thing I LOVE about creating a mixed media project is the fact that I am able to combine so many of my favorite products such as stamps, patterned paper, die templates and many mediums. I've combined stamps from several
Waltzingmouse sets on this piece. The swag in the upper right corner and sentiments are from
Nutcracker Sweet and the snowflakes are from
Nordic Winter.
I combined patterned paper from
Pink Paislee, Authentique and My Mind's Eye. Speaking of Pink Paislee, I don't know if you heard the exciting news?
Pink Paislee has announced their partnership with
JessicaSprague.com and will be selling their digital products exclusively at
JessicaSprague.com (
