NSD Crop Challenge | Get Messy with Theresa Doan

I hardly ever use paint! But I got out some Color Theory acrylic and made a background for this card: https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202579-pl-card-with-hearts

Used yellow watercolor for a background for the sentiment on this card (and a little splattering): https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202581-love-you-mom

I got down and dirty with inks, a spray bottle, my fingers and a heat gun on mixed media paper. I tried to layer colors similar to those in the photo.

Its fun to get my paints out, but I don't do it very often: https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202632-huskies-march

I finally made a Cover page for my daughter's trip to California lots of paint and stamping.

Fun challenge! I love mixed media and recently started playing with pan pastels and love, love the results. Used 3 pan pastel colors mixed with gel medium applied over stencils for the background.

I made a card, using watercolor splotches for my stamping background: https://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/202771-momlife

I used a mixture of gesso and paint. Did not come out like I hoped. Only 28 more pages to go before this journal is done.
