Cork board with Artplorations

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new ARTplorations post!
As you know we have the Mixed Media challenge and you just need to enter to maybe WIN!
So this is what I made this time: altered cork board that can be really used to pin all our notes and papers.
First I made the embellished panel with Earth Safe Finishes Ann Butler's Iridescent paint, using the ix of blues and  yellows to make those greens.
Then I used ESF Texture paste with ARTplorations Bloom Silhouettes stencil  and cover it with blue embossing powder to heat emboss and to speed the drying time too.
Leaves were stamped with white ESF Chalkboard paint using Frames and Flowers set and  flowers were covered with the same paint to make the contrast. The whole piece is ATC size and was actually made over a chipboard ATC base.
The " every day is a journey" saying is STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments- Journey set and I stamped over the cork with white pigmented Clearsnap ink and heat embossed it with white powder. Maybe it's not a perfect stamping, but it was stamped over the rare cork piece, so it looks great after all.

And as I already said: come and play  with our monthly Mixed Media challenge! You can  win if you do enter this challenge!
