...... Is this weeks theme over at Mixed media Monday. Here is what Diane has to say:
This week the challenge to everyone is to “try something new”. That is completely open to your interpretation - it could be a new technique, a new medium or even a new colour. Just play and have fun with one.
My entry for this weeks theme is an Altered Book Box that i did for my best friend's birthday which was on Friday. This was a first for me using the Verdigris Patina Ageing Solutions Kit.
Stamps - Oxford Impressions, Paper Artsy & Hampton Art Stamps.
Tim Holtz Word Key
Rusty Tile
Vine Ribbon
Rose Bud & Velvet Leaves
Filigree Corner
All above elements (Paper Whimsy).
