Now let's check out the inspiration from our talented design team...

Corry  I have made this project for your inspiration.
I made the background with distress ink and sprinkled it with water. After that I used stencils and text stamps.  I colored and cut out the girl, and glued it on the background. Then I stamped the flowers, bird, and butterflies, and blended it with chlorine. I punched the flowers in the hair and finished with some glitter here and there.
The products that I worked with are:

Belle-papillon clearstamp set


Terry: I have made a colorfull card to send you Loads of Wishes for the new year....
I worked on the background with Distress Oxide, background stamps from different stampsets. When the background was dried up I stamped some flowers on the card. I colored them with Distress Inks. Than I stamped some butterflies from the clearstampset from Polkadoodles and colored those with Distress Inks. On top of the flowers and the butterflies I played with Nuvo drops, to give them a bit of a 3D look. Last but not least I stamped the sentiment on the card. 



The products that I worked with are:


Jane - Happy New Year everyone! I have decorated a MDF tag with papers, stencil paste and stamps. I then added die-cuts and download images and a stamped and embossed sentiments.
Polkadoodles goodies used:
Super Sprigs Die Set
Nikky...I love our Believe in Angels collection, really scrummy products for anything Mixed Media, I had a blast making these...



The products that I used are:
GORGEOUS PROJECTS FROM THE TEAM!

Terry: Hi there and welcome to our new Challenge Blog. I have a little project made for your inspiration. I worked on the background with lots of autumn colors and sprayed water on the inks to make em work on the card.. When the inks were dried up I played with a stencil and some Light Modelling Paste....After that I worked with some PanPastels in between the stencil and colored the cracks from the crackle. And to top it all off I placed a butterfly that I colored with PanPastels and crackle. I have placed some sentiments to finish my project
Gemma - Wow so we have some exciting new changes happening here and I hope you will all continue with us on this mixed media journey. I have a piece to share with you all today that I created on canvas board using beautiful papers and embellishments from the Polkadoodles Belle Papillion downloadables. More details can be found on my blog, but I glued the papers in place with gel mediums and added texture and colour with beaded gel and Gelatos. 



Lou: I've used the Royal Peacock stamps, loose water colouring techniques and the yummy Toadstool border die to create my wall handing. More details and photos can be found on my blog.
