Here is my first mixed media collage (aside from scrapbooking, which is also mixed media art!).This was done as an experiment. I just wanted to get started. To be brave and use some of my new paint and art tools (like my brayer). It was a lot of fun, and the result turned out better than I expected. I quite like it! (This is a little reminder to me as I sit as my desk all day!)
I started by layering three pieces of scrapbook paper onto a piece of heavy cardstock. Then I used the brayer to layer in three colors of paint. (The blue is called "Victorian Blue" - isn't that great?) I found the vintage image at a royalty-free site (she's using tape to keep her shoulders back!) and typed up the words in a font that I liked. I used a pink pastel to blush up her cheeks and add the pink edging to the words.

Thats neat, Thanks for sharing this
I like it! Will you be turning these into cards or other things? I like the pic...can you send the link?
Great job for your first mixed media piece, Steph! At first, I wasn't quite sure what they were doing in the image but then I got it once I read your post. :-)
I sit at a desk all day long, too, and those are great reminders to get up and move your body periodically.
How fun! I'm trying to loosen up and create stuff, too~ just to play, without being so attached to the end result. That's usually when the best things happen, anyhow!
I love the colors you chose for the background! This is really cool. I agree with AZ tea lover - you should consider cards.
This is great! I like the font you chose, too. I love altered art because it allows for soooo much creativity!
This looks like fun!
