Mixed Media Wedding:

Today I have a special post, the Papercraft Star team was asked to join A Mixed Media Color Challenge this week.  So very exciting!!




I do have to admit that I was quite terrified to play along as I have never dabbled in the mixed media arts.

I grabbed everything in my craft room (including home improvement supplies, really), sat down, and this is what I came up with:

I used joint compound that one would use to fill cracks and holes in walls.  I grabbed a stencil and a joint compound spatula and added some texture.  I also used acrylic paints, shimmer mists, and inks.

I was lucky enough to receive the Tropical Sensations stamps and dies collection (thanks again Mona!), which I used on the background paper and also for the flower embellishment.
