Pull out your paints & inks

I challenged myself to incorporate some sort of mixed media this month (paint, ink, or other fun technique) into my layout. I tend to keep things very neat and clean. I rarely add any kind of ink, paint or distressing. Not for this layout!

I dug into my supplies and the new GCD Studios Tool and chipboard! I still kept true to my typical layout style, but I "dressed up" my title by using the tool to stamp little snowflakes on the G. I then very lightly painted it with white paint. After it was dried I sprayed it with a little ink and then lightly wiped it off. I love how the ink seeped into the embossed images.

So if your feeling a little bit "artsy" and need a jump start before your next project. Pull out some paint or other mixed media product and scrap away!

Right now, you can find this Challenge over at www.scrapbook.com where I am hosting it. The is a fun GCD prize pack for the winner. The Challenge ends April 30th
