I was partners with @Smmarrt in the Paper and Mixed Media Embellishment Swap. I tried out some new-to-me techniques, and had a blast getting creative and messy.
First up is a mini book I made and filled with random embellishments and ephemera - some handmade and some from my stash.
Some different background papers I stamped, inked, painted, used texture pastes, etc.
And some more mixed media handmade items - the birds and faces are free-handed, but I used a set of Dina Wakley stamps as a reference for the birdies:
The flowers on the last one are fabric I cut out and added to painted backgrounds.
Thanks for looking!
