STAMPlorations Mixed Media challenge for November

Sooo ... it's November already, winter has arrived in Finland 

and it's also 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.

I made this icy tag using

Christmas Reindeer -stencil

Buttercups and Butteflies -stamp set

I made the background by squeezing paint in the middle

of 2 tags, when dried I covered the tag with watered Gesso.

I also used Gesso with the stencil to get the white delicate deer.

Little bit DI on the edges and around the deer.

Then I stamped the sentiment:

"How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it"

added some die cuts and pearls and of course the white ribbon.
