Autumn Colors at Mixed Media World Challenge

Happy Happy Sunday My Dear Sweet Friends
I hope your weekend has been going fabulous!
 
Today, not only am I sharing my DT project but it is also my turn to pick the theme for this months challenge. I have decided the theme will be "Anything Goes With a Twist."

The twist is you can create any type of mixed media project you want however you MUST use Fall Colors.  Our amazing sponsor this month is  Glitzcraft and they have so many wonderful stencils and other items.  And please check out all the rest of the DT projects - they are AMAZING!!


(This is an altered 9" x 12" Canvas)

 I have been dabbling in the mixed media area for a little while now and one thing is for certain - I am hooked.  I have so much to learn and I am learning so much from all my teams here on MMW.

Now, I will confess this project was a HUGE step out of my comfort zone.  I stepped so far I was constantly saying "What if I mess it up?"  And ironically it all fell into place one step at a time.  I have learned what a forgiving medium this is and all I need to do is to keep playing and having fun.



 
I hope you will join in this month's challenge at Mixed Media World. 
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it and your comments mean the world to me.

 I also entered this project into the following challenge:

    As with all of your designs this is wonderful. It shows a love for different colors and shapes on the left with the buttons, washers and cogs. The flowers, dragonflies, butterfly and trees on the background show a more peaceful way of life and metal colored shapes speak of industry pushing its way in to that easier way of life. The gratitude plate speaks to me saying be glad wherever you are.

    Gorgeous - love those rainbow trees in the background, dappled in autumn sunshine, and the little pile of treasures looks amazing!

    WOW, Laine! I love all the gears and cogs mixed with buttons (?) and painted. Such a wonderful contrast to the flowers. Love the background trees, too.
