You can bet the Jill’s fingers are inky once you see what she’s created for us today…

Our Creative Die, 51-234 Floral Butterfly, is the perfect size for larger-than-a-card mixed media creations such as this. It makes the perfect fluttering focal point.

It’s amazing what you can ‘create’ with a brightly colored background and layered Creative Dies.

And since it’s Friday, here’s an extra dose of fun. Using these same techniques, Jill created a second project using our Creative Die, 51-236 Coy.

Layers of paper, paint, dies, and stamping give this mixed media art journal page texture and interest.

    The Wooden Plaque would make a lovely Mother’s Day gift.

    I have made so many cards & tags for so long, that I recently started doing mixed media mounted on matt board scraps, usually 5×7 or 8×10, due to the ease of framing ….. and giving them as gifts. Thank you for the beautiful and inspirational ideas! As always, Penny Black does not disappoint!!
