Mixed Media Monday, Paint


Cadillac Farm

My husband and I drove from Seattle, WA to Jacksonville, FL shortly after our wedding and honeymoon. We had researched many Route 66-like stops and the Texas Cadillac Farm was one of them. This free exhibit displays 10 Cadillacs buried halfway in the ground and guests are free to “decorate” the cars as they wish. We visited in the heart of winter when the mud was deep and large ice plates still rested on the ground. This adventure is highly recommended to those who do not covet their shoes (smile).

For Mixed Media Monday, paint theme I have made a 12×12 scrapbook page. I used Layers of Color Bead Frame, Gothic Crosses and Architectural Blocks stamp sets. I thought a messy paint look would work well the with the pictures and it was fun not having to “stay in the lines”. Thank you looking!

Love Card, Mixed Media Monday


This was a blast! Thank you Mixed Media Monday gals for the inspiration. Today’s theme, if you did not guess already, is playing cards. I used our fabulous Layers of Color Architectural Blocks, Flower Child and Gothic Crosses sets. While the stamp ink was still wet I sprinkled sparkles to add some glam. Thank you for looking have a blessed week!

Mixed Media Monday & Layers of Color Challenge


This is so exciting! We have a challenge blog of our own, Layers of Color Challenge. A new theme will be posted each first and third Saturday of every month and continue for one week. So please join with us in sharing our “Works of Heart”. We would love to see your humorous contribution, and keep in mind there is a FREE Layers of Color stamp set up for grabs to one lucky artist.
Hats and Humor Altered Page

Mixed Media Mondays theme was hats and our Layers of color theme was humor. With this fun combination I created an altered page in my soon-to-be Mother’s Day altered book (Mama, this is just a sneak peak). I used the Layers of Color Beaded Frames stamps to add more movement and fun to my pages.

Paris, Mixed Media Monday


Ooh La La! Today’s Mixed Media Monday theme is Paris. I decided to make a bookmark because I have started three books at once (what was I thinking?). I love them each so much I can’t put the others down long enough to finish one, so my Paris book mark is getting tons of use.

I used a few of our new stamps (coming soon) both circling the couple and as diamonds lining the bottom.

P.S. Sunday was Laura’s (mama of myself and Layers of Color) Birthday. Happy Birthday Mama, I love you!


Ode to the Military Man! Mixed Media Monday


Welcome to our shared mother & daughter blog. Today’s art is created by Jessica, daughter of Layers of Color.

My husband is a Navy man and I am his Navy wife. Because today’s Mixed Media Monday theme is Men, I thought I would create a little ode to my hubby with an artist square. I used some non-traditional shapes when designing my 4×4 but, it still remains the same dimensions as a traditional artist square. I used a portion of the Layers of Color Fleur Heart stamp to frame the edge of the square and added a few metal embellishments to add more depth.

I would like to thank all the men and women who fight for our country, and all the spouses who support them.

Thank you for taking the time to browse all our blog creations!
