This week I joined the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and created this fun mixed media tag full of texture, grunge, and a little bit of humor.
I used various Distress products for the background — sprays, inks, and embossing powders — to build layers of color and depth. The playful bird from Tim Holtz Crazy Birds brings a quirky focal point, perfectly matching the sentiment “today was great until… people.”
For added dimension, I included fabric scraps, lace, buttons, and bits of paper ephemera, all slightly distressed to blend into the vintage-grungy aesthetic. The combination of soft textiles and bold splatters gives the tag a nice balance between chaos and charm.
Creating this piece was pure fun — I love how mixed media lets me combine everything I love: paints, textures, stamps, and a little storytelling through art.
Have a nice day
Kate
