Here is mine.  First the background was pounced with a mixture of stazon ink refills & alchohol, and after dry I stenciled the doily all over it.  Thanks for the challenge.

I don't do a lot of mixed media, but when I saw this layout and the video, I decided to give it a try.  I had a lot of fun and I will try this again!

Thanks again for the challenge, Natalie! And thanks to the folks at Echo Park for sponsoring this. This was a great motivator for me to get out my inks and stencils and work on making background papers. I made a stack of them! Can't wait to use them all. Here's the first layout I made with them:

Image

I used the Waves stencil from the Simple Vintage Seas collection by Simple Stories. I LOVE that entire collection, but I haven't used up as much of it as I had hoped, because the colors in it clash with most of my beach and sailing photos. BUT the stencil from that collection was a really good buy for me because I can use paints, inks and whatever other media in just the right colors to create the look I need.

I do have some Echo Park / Carta Bella stencils, too, but my favorite one gets used for making journaling blocks, not so much for making backgrounds. I couldn't fit a journaling block on this page, or I would have used that stencil, too.

TFL!
Love love LOVE THIS! Those blues are so beautiful and the photos are lovely too!

Thank you Natalie for this challenge - I needed the motivation to get this LO done. Had an idea of using the stencil butters but just couldn't get started.

I love doing mixed media. 
I  have been wanting to do this layout for a couple of months and this challenge was perfect for it. I used mists and distress inks. I used a mix of stencils, stamps and bubble wrap for the designs.

Ohh i absolutely love those background layers. Incredible job!

Here's mine: I did a paint splatter on the back page, and the flower is a layered stencil that I used inks on.

I love the perfect flower set atop the splatters! Great juxtaposition. What a cutie kitty too!
