To be totally honest, I wasn't looking forward to this challenge as I've never considered myself to be a 'mixed media' kinda gal! Once I'd stopped panicking, I decided to use a favourite Vera Lane image; colouring with Promarkers and Prismacolour pencils. I adore Janet's quirky, fun designs.
The background was created with stamps, paints and stencils, and a Waffle Flower die. I LOVED creating the layered background and brayered away to my heart's content... I think I may just be a mixed media girl after all!
I'm pretty pleased with result, and only hope that the recipient likes it!
My super-talented Sistahs are far more confident and competent when it comes to mixed media, so why not go take a look and come get all arty with us for Challenge #87!

To be honest, I've never quite understood some of the mixed media, especially the ones with the fish on the head but this one just cracks me up and you aced it... and the sentiment too! Love it!
Well it's most definitely safe to say that you ARE a mixed media girl! This is absolutely fabulous Jo!!!
