Mixed Media


  


There are so many different colouring mediums available to us in this creative world it is so much fun exploring....especially when it comes to colouring this fabulous Mixed Media image by Penny Black.




I love my Chalks/Pastels and Prismacolor Pencils but just lately I have been playing with some of the Tsukineko Memento Markers- and am LOVING them!




I have used the  Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine to cut the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares Nestabilities® and Decorative Labels Eight Nestabilities.  The Decorative Labels Eight has been sanded around the edges to add the impression of another layer - I love this effect!




The wonderful Swirls Finesse is by Want2ScrapFinishing off with some Seam Binding and a recycled vintage button.

  15. Love this Linda - especially the way you coloured the music staves - as a person who learnt music, I could never do that - in fact would never think to do it. Is there a colouring medium that you don't like? :-). Love the black swirl on this.
    Blessings
