STAMPlorations Mixed Media challenge for October

It's time for a new Mixed Media challenge at

The theme is always anything mixed media goes except a card 

and you must use at least one stencil (any brand) in your project.

Prizes: $15 gift certificate OR choice of any 

2 ARTplorations stencils to the winner

and choice of 1 ARTplorations stencil to the top picks.

So do join the challenge, we love to see your art.

For this challenge I created a sparkling tag, using 

ARTplorations: Rows of Hearts stencil

STAMPlorations: Snowman - Large and Bold Sentiments stamp sets

some Distress Inks and LOTS of sparkling embossing powder.

I took a white tag, covered it with light blue ink, then using the

stencil and deeper blue ink and sparkling clear embossing powder,

made the heart pattern. I glued a die cut and the happy snowman 

(also covered with the sparkling embossing powder). 

Sentiment got the embossing treatment also.
