JUST US GIRLS #271 - Trend Week!

Hiya friends! We have a fun new challenge at JUST US GIRLS! Maria is our hostess this week and the trend she picked is mixed media! 

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about this. I love to look at all the incredible mixed media art out there, but it's not something that I would normally get into. But, what's a challenge if it doesn't do just that - challenge you! So here is my lame attempt at mixed media:

 the inside:

I used 3 colors of Distress Inks to create my ombre background, then spritzed water on it. (my water spritzer drips blobs of water rather than spritzes. Might be time to get a new one. ☺) After that dried, I spritzed pearl Glimmer Mist over it. The picture below shows the shimmer a little. (sort of maybe)

Once that was dry, I got out a stencil and embossing paste to make the falling snow. For the rest, I stamped the snowman, fussy cut hills, embossing two of them, and stamped the sentiment on the third one. Went over the edges with DI and adhered with foam squares.

I have to say, this was a lot of fun to make, and I think I'll be making some more mixed media cards soon. ☺

Now it's your turn! Link up your project at Just Us Girls! Please be sure to check out what my teammies, and our December Guest Designer, Lee Ann Barrett, made for your viewing pleasure! Remember, if you are picked as Chic of the Week for any of our December challenges, you will be in the running for our Guest Designer for the month of February! Cool Beans!

Thanks for hanging out with me. Have a wonderful day!

Chris
