CraftPrint 31-Day Content Challenge - Day 4

Today's challenge is "Favorite Things". I decided to focus on one of my favorite smaller mixed media pieces I create - Mixed Media Jumbo Cards. They are nice smaller pieces that are easy to store in 4x6 inch photo albums and easy to flip through if you are looking for ideas.

What are Mixed Media Jumbo cards you ask? They are small artworks creaded using a large playing card as a base. Jumbo Cards measure 3.5 X 5 Inches (8.89cm x 12.7cm). If you are interested you can get them on Amazon, search for jumbo+playing+cards+3.5x5 - or you can just cut watercolor of mixed media paper to the correct size.

I found out about Mixed Media Jumbo Cards from Marta Lapkowska on her YouTube channel and on her Facebook Group Cut & Collage - Art Journaling with Maremi #maremicollagebooks. I have been following Marta for years and she inspired me to start art journalling and creating Mixed Media art.

These pieces were created using images from the books drawn & created by Marta Lapkowska Maremi Small Art books.

These are Jumbo Cards #1 through #19 from Marta's "Jumbo Card Challenge", which is still on-going. The images are from Marta Lapkowska Maremi Small Art

CraftPrint 31-Day Content Challenge - Day 3

Today's Challenge is "LAYERS".

These pieces were created using images from the books drawn & created by Marta Lapkowska Maremi Small Art books.

These images for this piece are from the Summer Stories book. I decided to add real sand to the beach, then shells and beads to the beach and the frame to create some layers.

I created another piece with layers. These images are from the Spring Stories book. I added some "grass" (generally used in creating dioramas) and some small flowers that I also use on my rubberstamped cards.

Flowers & Butterflies Multi-Media Piece

This this my first true Mixed Media piece. Created the background and added the texture with modeling paste. Then painted with acrylic paints and Glimmer Mist Sprays - I didn't like the result.

So, I wiped it all off (rubbing alcohol works great for getting most of the acrylic paint off, even when dry), and started again. Took painting it 3 times before I liked it.

Then added the painted swirly leaf chipboard, the flowers, and the saying. The upper right corner looked empty, so I added the 3D butterfly.

Creativity Multi Media Piece

This my take on "Collage in Squares" as taught by Marta at Maremi Small Art Marta at Maremi Small Art. She used squares, but I decidfed to use circles.

This was made on a Canvas panel, with circles cut from assorted scrapbook papers.

I torn apart a sheet of Stamperia Decoupage Imagine LOVE ART Rice Paper to fit in the spaces between the circles.

Lastly, I shaded everything and added some Quote chips from the Tim Holtz - Advantus Quote Chips Idea-Olo Theories set.
