MMMC #21 - GLITTER

Happy February and happy new Mixed Media Monthly Challenge! Our theme for February is GLITTER! We want to see your mixed media projects that sparkle and shine :)


Our AMAZING sponsor and prize this month is from The Frantic Stamper. Fran has a HUGE supply of items to pick from, including being one of the only places in the United States where you can order Paper Artsy products! The Frantic Stamper will be giving a $25 gift card to our lucky winner.


The Mixed Media Monthly Challenge design team was very fortunate to receive some of Paper Artsy's brand new paints! Here are the colors I picked out...


The paint is so yummy! I got a mixed of very matte/opaque finishes which are almost chalk-like paints, and some shimmery bright paints. I really enjoyed working with them. A lot... and aren't those colors scrumptious?!


I love this little canvas WAY more than I thought I would! Don't you love all those buttons? Every single button was painted with one of my Paper Artsy paints! The buttons started as plain white, and I covered them with my pinks and purples. Love how they painted so cleanly and solid.



The background of my canvas is painted with the blues and greens, then stamped with the Copper paint with Unity Stamps. Once all the buttons were arranged and the glue was dried, I covered them all with Sparkle Mod Podge. You can never go wrong with Sparkle Mod Podge!


Fall in love with as many things as possible


Make sure you check out the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge and enter your GLITTER project into our gallery. You have the chance to win a gift card to The Frantic Stamper! Good Luck!
