I'll never be a mixed media artist :-(

Do you have materials, or tecniques, you struggle with?

Using mist and masks seems impossible to get a good grip on for me. My papers get all bulky, and I struggle with the design on my papers and cards when I I don't have paper to shuffle around. Why? Do I THINK too much, or try too hard? It's interesting that I have problems with this media, as ink pads, water colors and modelling paste works great for me...

Anyway - I have been playing, and here is the result:

Paper: 7Gypsies. Mask: The Crafters Workshop. Mist: Dylusions. Modelling Past: Panduro
Brown ink: Ranger. Pens: Signo. Chipboard: Imaginarium Designs. Washi & metal: Unknown

My mist is Chocolate brown, but for some reason it turned out more pinkish on my background paper, even if this was in brown shades. So annoying!

Thank you cards

I needed some - it was time thank aunties for the kids' Christmas presents.

I was determined to use last week's CSI coordinates on my layout for challenge #53, but got carried away with some paint, modelling paint and stamps and never got to use the freebies I had printed. But it would be a shame to just toss the lovely stuff, so I decided to make some simple Thank You cards with them.

Thank You sticker: SRM Stickers. Ribbon: Scrapbook Fantasies.
Cardstock: Bazill. Flower: unknown

I have lots of 5"*5" white envelopes, and as I am a frugal card maker, I made the following card in size 4"*4" to fit my envelopes *lol*
On the first card i did some doodling to make the center piece pop a little more

Love the soft palette on these card, and the purple reminds me of spring.

Do you like purple?
