Mixed Media/Altered Blog Hop

Welcome ladies to the Mixed Media Blog Hop. This hop will not have a long list because it involves a little more work and it is going to broaden everyone's creative by introducing everyone to the world of mixed media along with altered which of course everyone is familiar with.

For those who may not know what it is: Mixed media uses things like -

• Paints
• Gesso
• Gel Mediums
• Molding Paste

But it is a simple as using glimmer mist on a tag or using game pieces and alcohol inks.Everyones take on it is different and I hope you enjoy all the creations and GOOD LUCK to the winner!!  Be sure to become a follower on each blog and leave a comment to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE which is pictured/listed below:

I created a mixed media tag.  I painted some pressboard with "Gesso" which allows paints to blend and take to the paper better, then I used some glimmer mist and paints to create the color effect and look of the tag.  Added some embellishments and wala!!

 Also I created this awesome candy dispenser which is a cut file from SVG Attic but you get two things in one because it can also be used as an "toothpick dispenser." Works perfectly!!!  You have got to check out their files some amazing stuff ladies!!!
