Good morning from a cold and wet Liverpool
I'm really fed up of the rain and the cold but in a weeks' time I will be flying off to spend a few days in a warmer part of the world thanks goodness!
Today I have a little mixed media piece to share ... my blog friend Pamellia has started her own Mixed Media challenge blog Here
So to support her first challenge I pulled out my paints and stencils and trinkets...
The challenge is a Vintage Garden
You can see the many paints I used on that stencilled background ... The wooden items also took 3 different embossing powders, Silver, copper and distressed walnut - some of the wood border was originally a frame that I broke apart ... I knew they'd come in handy some day
The tree was made from styrofoam ... I cut a shape from a styrofoam ball and added two different paints - hot glued a small twig and voila!
The little angel was a gift from my friend Sue Lelli and I had to add it ... I smeared 2 more paints over it to make it look aged and moss covered
The challenge at Just Us Girls this week is embossing
So I'll enter it there too.....
It's not often I do mixed media but given that it was such a wet and dismal day it was fun to sit for an afternoon and just get covered in paint
Have a beautiful weekend ...
Till son

Squeal! That 3D tree is genius, how awesome sauce! Your use of the embossing powders on the fencing part is splendid! What a wonderful vintage garden you have created here and it looks like fun. So glad you were able to spend a dreary day getting inky and messy!
Thanks for joining in our first challenge, "Vintage Garden", at Anything But Cute! Hugz! ~Niki DT
You really captured the look of a vintage garden perfectly! So much detail in your design!
A work of art! You're one of those people who can do absolutely anything, Ros--I'd think Mixed Media was your specialty looking at this! Come on over to my house--in the 80s with lots of sun & we could have a great time visiting!
Sorry to hear about the rain, hope I could send some sunshine over!
Lovely vintage garden you have created!

What a fantastic mixed media piece Ros! Love the colours and the brick background. What a beautiful entry to Pamellia's new venture! Hugs :)
Wow! I was wondering if you had glued egg shells on that tree at first. Cool effect from the Styrofoam. I bet you had tons of fun playing with all the things you used to create this. :-)
I agree with all the above: OMG! What a fantastic piece you created there - that must have taken that first challenge off the ground in no time!
