Lynda

I live in Derbyshire in the UK, with hubby and four cats. I am flexibly retired NHS nurse - currently working only 10 hours a week. I enjoy card making, and was introduced to die cutting by my mum many, many years ago. I don't have a particular card making style, and usually just go with the flow, with whatever takes my fancy at the time. Mixed media is something I enjoy playing around with, though I'm still getting to grips with the different mediums and how they react with each other - but it certainly a fun (and messy) learning curve.

Erika

I’m honored to be this month’s guest designer at Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge blog. My name Erika, and I live in New Hampshire in the northeast of the US. I love making art and always have been crafty. The more types of media I can use, the better. The best days are the ones I end up with messy fingers. You can find me at my blog, BioArtGal where I not only post my arty creations but other adventures from my life. I hope you’ll visit me there.

Clare

I love all types of crafting which can be problematic when there are only 24 hours in a day and going to work gets in the way…lol! I first found paper-crafting in 2006 when undergoing treatment for cancer and I know that many people will have found crafting the same way and find crafting great therapy! Over the years my style has changed and I found mixed media, was lucky enough to design a range of stamps for PaperArtsy and now try to journal every month. You can find my blog, Instagram and YouTube page if you would like to see more of my creative work.

*Vicki*

Hello crafty friends! I’ve been a creative person most of my life and I enjoy connecting with others through art. I like to spend time in my craft room trying to make use of all the craft materials I have accumulated over the years! I enjoy so many types and styles of craft that would be impossible to narrow down. Being creative is a wonderful therapy with a creative outlet to enjoy in so many ways that I don’t ever see myself getting tired from it. You can catch all my crafty projects on my blog at stampedsmiles.com to share a smile with me! Hope you enjoy my inspiration for Creative Artiste.

Vicki

“Hi, I'm Vicki Dutcher from All I do Is Stamp I have been stamping for a long [long] time. The past few years, I found mixed media - and WOW- it is so much fun to create. Using different products and lots of layering is very relaxing [for me]. I live in Arizona with my husband. I am thrilled to be Guesting with Creative Artiste.”

Nelleke

Hello, my name is Nelleke, I am 67 years old and live in a small village in the Netherlands. I am married to Wim, and together we have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.I have been making cards for a long time. The last 12 years I have learned many new techniques, like working with ink. This card is made with distres oxide and photo paper (this may be cheap photo paper). I smeared the ink on the paper until I thought it was enough. Then I rubbed it out with a soft cloth to create a nice sheen. Several times I used the JIJ punch to raise it.

I hope to inspire you with this card. A warm greeting, Nelleke
