Hey everybody! I know, I know, it’s super busy this morning on my blog! Happy New Year! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m super excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #69 – Anything Goes + optional Mixed Media! If you decide to play the twist, we’d love to see your mixed media project using more than one medium.

To create the focal panel, I did some acrylic block stamping using Ranger speckled egg distress ink spritzed with water on a 2″ acrylic block. I stamped a floral image from the My Favorite Things Pretty Poinsettias stamp set in Catherine Pooler Skylight ink and colored the berries with a red Bic Mark-It ultra fine point marker. I added random dots of Nuvo Ivory Seashell Crystal Drops and added Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. Both panels on the front were layered on CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock. The sentiment was die cut from the Cherry Red cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add-On Dies.

I embellished the inside panel with a leftover strip of the Cherry Red cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set.
