Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT...

Nikky...I've used the fab Chipboard fairy door kit for this project, combined with our Posydoodles stamps. I find you barely need to add anything to the chipboard anyway, but all I did was paint it with gesso and then add a little Vintage Photo distress ink to the edges and glue down all the pieces, tucking in a little reindeer moss along the way. I stamped flowers and embossed with white embossing powder then just added a sprinkle of my fave Frantage powders and that was it...
... and this is a 2nd version of this kit - completely different when it uses bright colours! These papers and stamps were all from this Splash of Summer kit here....


Gemma- I have an altered house shaped chipboard blank to share with you all today that I used some wonderful Polkadoodles stamps on along with different paints and sprays from my stash. More details can be found on my blog.

Terry: I have made a card for you this month with Summer colors, I worked on the background with Distress Oxides and played with lots of stamps from Belle Papillon and Regal Peacock. Just love both stampsets especially the smaller stamps are very versatile. I have colored the butterflies with the same colors Distress Oxides and all the smaller flowers too, to fit everything together. I hope I am giving you some inspiration for this month's challenge


Julia I there I have made a little mixed media card, I actually went for a walk and picked up some sticks especially for this project. I also used some packaging to create a textured background. The card was inspired by Nikky's gorgeous new Critters collection which you can find here 
I used the Foxy Fun Felt kit for the little Felt mushroom and the Nuts about you stamp set to create the little Acorns and then the dies from Beary Hugs for the foliage. Full details on my blog.

Now let's check out the inspiration from our DT. 
As you can see our talented team have been busy working their creative/mixed media magic for you .....

This month we have had a fabulous Guest Designer joining us! 
We love her creative work and are thrilled to have her with us, so here's a little insight into our fab Guest Designer:
Tina de Marche...
make sure you check out her blog HERE..... Thanks so much for all your amazing work in the past few weeks Tina, we've loved seeing your amazing inspiration!

Tina...This is my last Guest project for WeLove2Create, I have really enjoyed it.  This image was colored with colored pencils.  I sprayed the canvas with some inks and added a little bit of texture with some molding paste and stencils.  Metal, chipboard, gems, leather, twine, embossing powders, paints and inks were use in this creation.
Terry: Hey there guys, this time I made a Butterfly card for your inspiration, I have worked on the background with Distress Oxides, the butterflies from Nikky's Stampset Belle Papillon are colored with the Distress Oxides too. The sentiments in the background are from the Stampset Papillon and the little detaills in the background are from the Reagal Peacock stampset. Everything Polkadoodles, love it The tiny detailled stamps are so versatile and easy to use for your Mixed Medium Project, you should really try it out.
Julia I have used the gorgeous new Posy Doodles, Honey Daisy stamp set I stamped onto rice paper and then adhered to a plastic jar. I then used some twine to wrap around the top of the jar. I stamped out loads of the flowers and coloured them using my Ecoline pens, and fussy cut them & used them to embellish the jar. Full details on my blog.

Something new for me this month, I had never made something using these techniques before and if I am very honest I am not sure it was a success but it is always good to try something new to push your self in whatever you are doing so I thought I would share it with you all anyway.  I stamped the lovely butterflies from the Belle Papillon stamp set onto Belle Papillon paper and coloured them in before gluing it to an acrylic frame, which I then filled with layers of melted embossing powder and glitter.
