Mixed Media Tag with the NEW Lace!

!!! HAPPY MONDAY !!!
Blends and 3 Girl JAM-mers

I am happy to be the Design Team Member posting for 3 Girl JAM today!

I was super excited to get to play around and create a Mixed Media Tag for a swap I am in with a fun group on FB.  I spoke with my swap partner about her "favorites" and she was super sweet to give me a lot of ideas to work with.  As soon as she said "pinks, blues, silvers, whites, and greens", I grabbed the NEW Lace from 3 Girl JAM!!!  

This lace is beyond Gorgeous and I can't wait for it to be released so all my friends can play with it in their creations, too.  The colors are scrumptious and I adore the mixed colors Julie created and will have available!

I have included a picture heavy, information loaded, step-by-step at my personal blog, Jessica's Craft Shaque.  Feel free to stop by to get all the juicy details on this Mixed Media project and all the products that were used!

Now, to show the colors of the lace against my semi-finished tag.  GORGEOUS, RIGHT?

I started to embellish the tag first, by pleating and adhering the wider blue/green lace just under the hole at the top.

I then created a second row of lace, using the same technique, but with the thinner pink lace this time.  

I wanted to offset the large cluster of paper flowers on the bottom, by using some of the FABULOUS Crinkle Ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM Shop.

 I created a triple bow on my 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker using the Mixed Color Ribbon from the Red, White & Blue Bundle along with the Christmas Candy Ribbon from the Seasons Bundle.

Using some twine, I added a key charm to the center of the bow as I was making it with the Bow Maker.

A final touch --- adding the binder ring!

ALL IN ALL, I really enjoyed trying out this Mixed Media Project.

{Having fun with Gellatos and Color}

Hi friends, Madge from Madge's Scrappin Lounge here!! I am super excited to be back with the
 3 Girl Jam Design Team!!  I have missed them for the last 6 months!! EEK!! Who gets excited when I say the word Gellatos? Or if your like me who gets excited when I say the word Crinkle Ribbon by 3 Girl Jam??? Me! Me! Me!! {Like a kid in school wanting to answer the question the teacher asked} HAHAHA!!! Ok enough about me let's get on to this fabulous project that I created for you today!!
I chose to make a mixed media project using watercolor paper, gellatos, some scrappy goodness and to top it off a beautiful 3 Girl Jam Bow using the crinkle ribbon "Cherry Lipstick" from the pink and white bundle!

Of corse this is my favorite color so I use it all of the time!!!

Here is my mixed media page
*There are several different pics of this project*
(I have to apologize the pics are not as clear as I would like the different spritz and paints I used makes it look quite shinny)





I taught this live yesterday on my USTREAM channel, if you would like to see the link come on over to Madge's Scrappin Lounge HERE to check it out!!

I hope that you all enjoyed this mixed media project!! 

Loves-Madge
