I think we’re all ready for a break from Holiday crafting. How about something bright & cheerful? Are you new to the art of mixed media? Love the look but not so sure how to get there? Well today’s project is a great way for you to get your feet wet. I’d like to thank both Want To Scrap and Nina Bracket for sharing today’s inspiration piece.
Nina first created the colorful background with the emboss resist technique using several Penny Black stamps and Distress inks.
She covered Want2Scrap®’s Vintage Fancy Frames – Chipboard Embellishments with DecoArt Gesso, then stamped it with Donna Salazar‘s text stamp and Clearsnap brown ink. The sentiment was created using SRM Stickers that were then accented with Mother of Pearl Rhinestones. How perfect are the Swirls Finesse – LeCreme Pearls on the side.
Above is a close up of the beautifully intricate frame by Want 2 Scrap. The tulips are from Penny Black’s Blooming Garden. Nina dotted the petals with DecoArt Acrylic white paint & colored the flowers with Copic markers. She tied twine before adhering the frame with foam squares to the card front.
My hope for you is to be fearless when it comes to your creativity, to try new things & most important to have fun!
Thanks for the visit & I hope you have a very creative day.

I would love to watch your videos but they do not play for me. I even signed up with Vemio thinking that would help. What’m am I doing wrong?
Hi Barbara, It’s hard to tell what may be going wrong. If you click anywhere in the video box, it should work. You do need to be in the article to click the video. It won’t work directly from Facebook or even on the home page. I know that I can me impatient sometimes and if you click too many times, it is like flicking a light switch on and off quickly and then the computer can get confused. When all else fails, I usually restart my computer or shut all the way down and turn back on. It is amazing what that will fix!
