Creative Play! Is it part of your day?
Didn’t even need a paint brush for this one!
Used a mix of oxide ink pads smeared onto my card base to mimic a Christmas tree. Wasn’t sure what would happen when I sprayed with alcohol but I have a handy spray bottle of alcohol for my garden tools and gave it a try. Not as magical as I hoped so I added some ink splashes with the acrylic block too!
Stamped with some splash stamps from my Pencil ferns from @ardencreativestudio. Added a star from the Festive Element Stamp Set from @ardencreativestudio
And then I used Arden’s Cherry card stock with the Peace and Joy Sentiment die from @ardencreativestudio mounted onto Dawn red card stock from Arden and called it done!
Simple as that!

Need a creative boost?
Some mixed media journaling is just the thing to do!
I love starting with oxides and adding rubons to create a perfect journal page ready for bullet journaling!
This creative process could even be adapted for memory keeping too by adding a photo and journaling the details.
Simple as that!

How do you use your tags?
As part of a layout? part of a card? Part of a journal? For hidden journaling on the backside? How about all of the above!!
This mixed media card was fun and easy to put together using the Field Notes Collection I designed for @ardencreativestudio
I started with the decoupage paper, layered on some @paperartsy chalk paint and stamping and then put together a sentiment cluster with elements from the ephemera and laser cut packs, finishing off with a chiffon ribbon!
Simple as that!

Journaling? Cardmaking? Scrapbooking?
This mix of products can be turned into any of those things and more!
I spent some time this weekend with my new little journal/folio I made with the @ardencreativestudio Bookmakers pack. Absolutely loving the direction these pages take me and the base that the Bookmakers gave me as a starting point.
Went back into my stash and stamped up a base of texture before adding some rubons from the @ardencreativestudio Field Notes Collection and then added some postmarks to tie it all together

Make it a habit!
Spend time every day being creative. Mixing color. Exploring different mediums. Expand your mind and free your soul.
I didn’t spend long on this. My goal wasn’t a masterpiece. It was exploration. How do these colors work together? How do they take to the journal? Do I like the color block effect over the stamps?
Exploration like this generally leads to more creativity. More ideas. More exploring. And possibly a masterpiece or two in between. It keeps your creative mind flowing.
I used my @ardencreaativestudio sketch stamps with an archival ink and a mix of watercolor palettes!

![Mixed media party invitation for creative card making with stencils and dies
You’re invited!
To Party!
I think I could make cards like this all day long. I started with a blank 4x6 heavyweight card, the Distressed Tile Stencil from @ardencreativestudio and the Bloom Set of @tcw_stencils Stencil Butters blending 3 of the colors to create this rainbow
After the stencil Butter was fully dry I added more color with watercolors to help connect it all and add more energy to the design
Just placing the die cut sentiment over the background, the sentiment was getting lost so I added some heavy gesso to give the sentiment a foundation and I love how it turned out!
After adding the sentiment I mounted the design onto Purple Haze Arden Colored Cardstock and called it done!
Simple as that!!
