Hi! I’m very happy to be here for STAMPlorations with a mixed media project for Stencil Sunday and the February Mixed Media Challenge.
The winner will receive a $15 STAMPlorations gift certificate or 2 ARTplorations stencils. And the top picks receive an ARTplorations stencil of their choice.
I have a fun discount code for you! Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share with you.

Here’s a mini calendar page that I made using ARTplorations stencils:
The calendar measures approximately 6 1/4″ x 10 1/4″ or 16 x 26 cm matted.
- First, I created the heart background with the ARTplorations Hearts In Bubbles stencil with red embossing paste and then pink watercolor paint.
- I added gold embossing paste through the ARTplorations Chevron Crazy stencil.
- I matted the panel with vellum, gold foil cardstock and then pink cardstock.
- I added some more hearts with the ARTplorations Hearts All Over stencil and pink embossing paste.
- I used the ARTplorations Dots All Over stencil to add white and silver embossing paste.
- When the paste dried, I sponged on gold pigment ink.
- I designed the little calendar as a word document and printed it onto white cardstock. It measures about 4″ x 2 1/4″ or 4 cm x 5.75 cm.
- I inked the edges of the calendar by swiping it across red and then gold ink pad and added some pink dots as well and then attached it with foam tape.
I had a lot of fun creating this calendar page and I hope that you have been inspired to create your own mixed media projects! I’d be very glad to have you join us for the mixed media challenge this month. I’m so excited to be here with you and I can’t wait to see what you make!
Please remember that this is not a card challenge…it’s anything BUT a card. 🙂
To be sure that you’re eligible for the prizes each month, please create a mixed media project, add a link to the challenge and also remember to show the Mixed Media challenge graphic. Please check out what the rest of the design team has made here.
Grace & Peace,
