Beautiful By Mona Pendleton
Do you love mixed media layouts? Whether you are an experienced Mixed Media Artist or just starting out, you are going to love this adorable layout created by the fabulous designer Mona Pendleton. Sometimes you just don’t know how to get started or where to begin. Mona shows us how to build from the foundation up using different mediums, or with whatever supplies you happen to have on hand.
Mixed Media is such a great way to use up some of those left over embellishments you have laying around, along with your stencils, inks, paste, and mist to give it a beautiful vintage flare. This layout is absolutely gorgeous. Let’s pop on over to Cupcake Creations where you can see more details of Mona’s layout. Step out of your comfort zone and see what you can create; you will be sure to be amazed at your mixed media creations. Have fun creating!
