Here at Anything But Cute we love to see all the seasoned and expert mixed media artists, but we also want to encourage those who are just getting their feet wet. Our design team will always be on the lookout for these exceptional artists, and you just never know when we might be giving out something special to a talented mixed media newcomer.
Make sure to put 'newbie' after your name in the linky so we know who you are.
(new refers to 'new to mixed media' NOT 'new to our challenge')

Introducing Georgie

Hello Everyone!

Today I am here to introduce you the next member of the Anything But Cute design team. I found Georgie out there in blog land, when it seemed like every time I clicked on a thumbnail that looked interesting, it took me to her blog. I fell in love with her work instantly! Please hang around and learn a little bit more about this talented artist and see some of her gorgeous mixed media creations!


Helloooo!! My name is Georgie from the Little Blue Craft Box blog, I’m based in the quiet county of Dorset on the south coast of the UK. Artistically, I am a lover of altered art, shabby chic, vintage grunge, art journalling, paper crafting… anything arty/crafty really, I love it all!!! My biggest love is mixed media within any of these forms.

Colours really entice me!!! From light and airy, to dark and gothic (and everything in between). I believe the way hues ebb and flow together is what really makes a project, and gives it that ‘wow factor’. I adore how colours are enhanced by mediums used beneath, around, or over them. The possibilities are beautifully endless…

***
Georgie has picked out a few of her favourite mixed media projects to share with us today. No matter what type of project she makes, the beauty and skill of her creations shine like the North Star!

***

Treasures of the Sea

A mixed media altered chest, using dry wall tape, texture paste with stencils and fibres. Then some gorgeous Lindy's were used give it a worn, yet magical shimmery feel.


 I Dream In Colour - Scrapbook Page. 

I love to create layouts, in various styles. I find they give me some great creative freedom. I see a photo and a light bulb nearly always hits me and I just know it has to be 'scrapped'!!


Prima Wedding Card

This is wedding card I made using Prima products, I love creating layers and dimension, adding paint, and where possible including some stitching! :)


Ten Tiny Toes - Scrapbook Page

Lots of goodies and dimension! I love taking a sketch and just running with what feels like the right direction, bringing elements and colour together.


By The Sea - Scrapbook Page

One of my biggest achievements was accomplished with this page, winning the November 2014 BAP (Build A Page) at Prima!! This was made using nearly Prima products, I love how you can create colourful yet delicate projects with their product lines. This one was using Seashore.


Scrap-Tag - Time for a Vacation

I love exploring new ideas and concepts. This version of scrapping was one of them, and far easier to store :) 


The Keeper

LOVED making this!! I wanted to create something for someone who keeps and love bees and when I thought of the phrase The Keeper, the mental image of an old book cover kept springing to my mind and then this came to life.

***

Well, I think you will agree that Georgie is a mixed media artist like no other, I am on the edge of seat, waiting to see what she comes up with for our challenges!

Please come and visit us again on Monday, April 20th when we introduce our next Design Team member, and don't forget to hit that Follow button while you're here!

19 DAYS UNTIL OUR FIRST CHALLENGE GOES LIVE - MAY 5 - DON"T MISS IT!

Happy Crafting!
