A Year of Choices - MMMC #13

Hello June! For many it's already summer... school is out and it's time to hit the beach! But first you should join in the newest Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #13 A YEAR OF CHOICES

Our not-so-little little challenge is now ONE YEAR OLD! To celebrate, the challenge theme is to pick ANY of our previous 12 challenges to play along! You have so many options: Spray Inks and Mists, Around the House, Stencils and Paste, Photo Inspiration, Ribbon Twin and Fiber, Stamps, Tic Tac Toe, New to You, Think Pink, Birds of a Feather, April Showers, and finally... May Flowers! 

I decided to go with my favorite one: Stencils and Pastes

I also used the color palette from our Photo Inspiration for my tag. The summer means it's time for NAUTICAL (another favorite of mine!) so this seahorse needed to be showcased.

 I used a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop called "Sea Creatures". I used texture paste over the seahorse image and let the paste dry COMPLETELY. Then I colored him with Mango Gelatos and inked around the edges with Picked Raspberry.

The painted background was created with some Distress Paints, another Crafter's Workshop stencil "Ledger", and some heart stamps. I used fun tulle ribbon from Maya Road to dress up the bottom of the tag. I also included some painted buttons and metal embellishments from Maya Road.
