Happy Thursday everyone! I’m very excited to share my very first mixed media project with you! This project features the Enchanted Iris stamp set from Altenew’s new May release, which is simply beautiful.

Mixed media is an art form I have always admired. When I think of mixed media, what comes to mind is vintage elements in a visually intense collage. This is a look Tim Holtz and many others are extremely gifted at achieving. I however cannot do that; it’s just not my style. So I am happy admiring that style of artwork while I create in the style that works for me.
Enter – clean and simple mixed media! Mixed media can be anything you want it to be; mixed media is basically just a term for using a variety of media and mediums together to create the finished result. So if vintage collages are not your cup of tea, don’t worry; you can still be a mixed media artist!

Since the basis of mixed media is the use of multiple mediums together, let’s take a look at what I’m using in this project…

Stamps: I used the Enchanted Iris stamp set from Altenew.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
Mediums: Copic markers to color the irises. Tonic Studios Nuvo Embellishment Mousse, gesso and white acrylic paint for the frame. Wendy Vecchi translucent embossing paste is acting as an adhesive for creating the glittered glass panel.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
Embellishments: Tonic Studios Nuvo glitter (for the glass panel), Pretty Pink Posh sequins and Nuvo glitter drops in both gold and clear.

The thought process of creating this mixed media project was a bit new to me; in my head I had a vague idea of what I wanted. A metallic shadow-boxed styled piece framing some Copic colored irises in a scene that evoked delicacy and simplicity. Something with an ethereal feel.
I also knew I wanted to add glitter, but at first I wasn’t sure how and where. As I stared at the piece of glass from the photo frame sitting on my desk – brainstorming what my course of action would be – it suddenly hit me. To best achieve the ethereal mood, why not create a glittery glass texture behind the irises?

The frosty, glittered glass makes me think of an early morning; the sun is just barely above the trees as it hits the dew-laden flora and fauna on the ground below. The dew glistening across the grass as far as the eye can see – creating an ocean of glitter and green. The birds singing their songs; everything is waking up to start the day. This is the picture I had in my mind during my brainstorming and is what drove the project to the finished result.

After creating the frame and the glittered glass panel, the next step was coloring my stamped irises. As I had said earlier, I used Copics for this. I know many of you enjoy knowing which markers I used for the coloring process, so I have them listed here for you:

I did not show this on camera, but I also added a few stripes of purple in the darkest petals with a Prismacolor colored pencil (from the full set of pencils). I felt that the added finer detail “veins” of the petals would add additional interest to the coloring.

In the video I go through all the steps I took to bring everything together and build my project. One of my favorite aspects of the piece is the dirt – am I crazy to get excited about dirt?? Well when it’s dirt made from glitter, I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t love it! Again taking inspiration from the dew-drop morning scene in mind, I used Tonic Studios’ Golden Sunset glitter drops to create the soil that my irises are growing from. Can’t have blooming flowers without it, now can we?
To achieve a more realistic look, I made sure to apply it a little unevenly. Not too uneven to make it look messy; just imperfect enough to carry a soil appearance. I think it dried beautifully!

Once the entire scene was built, my shadow-box mixed media project was just about finished. But next came the dilemma of how to display it. Technically I could have just hung it, but that would not allow the light to reflect in my shadow box as well. So I decided to take apart one of my Ikea Tolsby frames and use the white base as the stand for my wooden frame.
Hot glue was the best adhesive to adhere the two pieces together. I left it cure and set overnight; by the next day I was able to pick up the frame and hold it without the two pieces coming unattached.

I now have the scene sitting in my studio which looks fabulous! This was such a fun project to make and I hope you will be checking out the video below to see it all come together!
I actually have two videos for you to see. The first is the entire project from start to finish and the second is the coloring process at a slower, more relaxed pace. The full project video has a sped up and more condensed version of the coloring.
Thanks for visiting me today and keep on hopping in the Altenew May release hop… all the details and giveaway info is listed below!

Great designs, thanks for sharing.
I really love mixed media. Your project is really beautiful. The pencil over the comics add a lot of interest.
Beautiful frame and the flower colors are gorgeous.
What a fabulous project!! Each detail is beautiful, love the video too. Thank you so much. :-)
I have done a little mixed media but you have motivated me to try more. Beautiful project!
What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing 😊
Your iris project is just beautiful! Love the glitter dirt!
Mixed media. I usually shy away from that, but you give me hope! Lovely iris creation.
Anyone would be proud to hang this gorgeous project I their craft room or anywhere else in their house.
Beautiful!
Wow, what a beautiful creation. Would love to see more mixed media using Altenew stamps as it is definitely something I’m interested in. I’m now a follower too!
Love all your work and the new release as well!
I like the glittery soil, which is rather like the mica-infused soil of North Carolina.
I agree with you! Mixed media does not have to be disorganized and messy to be true! Great ideas, thanks for the inspiration!!
Absolutely lovely… and I have some of those frames. Thank you for the inspiration.
Simply stunning! Love it
stunning project. I love this stamp set. Thanks for sharing
Nice mixed media project!
Love this project! Thanks for the details!
My sister takes photos and puts them on handbags and cosmetic cases and other things. She has a web site on-line and she does craft fairs. She would love this card that you did. She loves flowers like I do and like you do. She has done purses with lots of flowers and people love the photos of flowers that she takes. I love to color and I would love to color this stamp! You did an amazing job on it and the way you displayed it is right where it should be. Thanks for letting us see it and for giving us a chance to win something. I hope I win!
Such a gorgeous project. This is quickly becoming my favorite stamp from this release
Simply Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talent & for giving me inspiration
This is absolutely gorgeous! It makes a perfect waqll hanging.
The coloring is awesome. So realistic. Blessings!
So creative. I’m definitely going to have to try to make one of these!!!!!!
Wowza!!!! I’m in awe of your creativity with this new release. Absolutely stunning work!
Very creative & so pretty!
I love the iris stamp and hope to add it to my collection. Your coloring is beautiful and I love how you used your own mixed media to make a picture. Very pretty!
This is beautiful! The flowers are gorgeous, beautiful colors!
This is so beautiful. I love the color of the frame and that iris looks real!
I love the bud stamps, but now the iris is on my wishlist!
Love the colors and techniques used. Very beautiful picture. Nice to see different medias used. Great inspiration.
ooooooooooo soooo very pretty. I love how you have made this into a frame, so very clever and beautiful. Hugs Jo
Wow, this is so pretty!
Beautiful iris project!! So great.
Wow…your project is beautiful!
A great project. It’s fun to see a mixed-media creation using our stamps, dies and other crafting products.
Gorgeous!! Fabulous release!
Love how you used the new Iris Stamp set! I have been waiting for someone to make a realistic Iris Stamp set and this set set is it! My only suggestion regarding making future coloring videos is to shoot from a different angle. All I mostly saw was your thumb and the results after each layer, not actually seeing each marker or completely seeing the iris being colored. It was more of glimpses of the iris while watching a hand moving back and forth. I guess I am more of a beginner at using Copics than the audience you were targeting. I do appreciate what I could see, but can’t say I could duplicate it.
Such a prefect stain glass piece!! Perfect coloring as well!
Awesome coloring on those gorgeous irises!
You should show the frame you made we can see a glimps off in the last picture :)
What a beautiful ‘stained glass’ piece! Genius!! Thanks, again, for taking the time to write out for those of us who prefer to read vs watch. : )
Love what you did here with the Enchanted Iris Stamp set and your use of mixed media…just fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
This is awesome Nina!! I’m so glad to see your comment about mixed media!! i too do not like what I feel is being called the normal mixed media. Every time I thought I should try something mixed media/vintage like….I just couldn’t do it…just not my thing!! I was happy to see someone else just say it out loud LOL!!
Beautiful project
Such a cool project. Will have to come back later to watch the videos.
You had a beautiful vision and executed it perfectly!!! I never would have thought to use that mousse on a frame, or the glitter on glass. So creative and such a beautiful result! Incredible work for your first mixed media project!!!!! TFS the process with us :)
It project is really cool!! I have been afraid to try the Nuvo embellishment mousse…because I didn’t really know what to do with it. But now I have plenty of ideas!! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!
Oh my gosh, you had me at glitter glass! The iris stamps and the way you’ve colored them are lovely. You’ve created a beautiful piece of home decor.
Love your choice of colors…and I am with you…vintage just doesn’t do it for me!
Love this project. The glittered background looks beautiful. And I love the golden ‘soil’ at the bottom.
Wow! This is stunning! Love the glitz and colors on the flowers!
Beautiful piece of art and I love the glitter dirt!
That is so gorgeous…and I love your videos.
This project looks amazing! Beautiful design ,love the frosted glass effect xx
This is so cool!! I love the fun way you covered the glass with the glitter. I never would have thought to use the Nuvo paste on the frame like that. I will have to give it a try!! thanks for sharing!!
What an amazing project!!!! I love it – wonderful inspiration for us all!
LOVE those iris’! Can’t wait to get those! Such a great release and amazing blog hop! So much talent and inspiration! Thanks for sharing yours!
I love the coloring you did with the copics and how the irises really stand out.
I love the frame you created with the glittered glass. So cool.
Beautiful! Your coloring is amazing and the glittered background is perfect. I am not good at the traditional mixed media so thanks for sharing this its inspiring.
I love your use of bold colors…you have such a free spirite!
What a magical and breathtaking creation! I am in love with your sparkaliscious dirt along with every single detail of it! It was a total WOW moment when I scrolled down and saw the completed project! TFS!
Beautiful framed piece. I like the realistic coloring and all of the sparkle.
Oh Nina! This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I am totally going to make one of these! Your Iris’s are coloured perfectly! Well done!
Your coloring is amazing on these iris!!
So pretty! I love the look…and the glitter background really adds shine!
Fantastic!

Wow! Amazing colouring thanks for do much detail.
Love what you have created :)
So pretty
quite the project. thanks for the video, i know they are time consuming to make and edit.
Such vibrancy to your irises. Thanks for sharing your beautiful piece. So glad you’re on the scene!
Fabulous card!
Very pretty. Love the stand. Trying more to reach outside of the box. This is an inspiration.
Wow! This looks amazing! The coloring is so rich and vibrant and that sparkle, fabulous!
Wow! Love the projects! Thank you for sharing!
Love your project really makes the irises stand out.
Love how this turned out. My only query is how do you keep it dust free without ruining the beauty of it? I’m wondering if an extra piece of glass before adding frosted piece would detract from the beauty of the final product?
Wow, what a gorgeous card. Your coloring is amazing. I love it!
That came out gorgeous :)
That was a fabulous project, Nina. The iris stamps are a must-have.
I love how you did this! I love how the glass turned out; what a great idea to add glitter. I began exploring mix media this year, too. My mix media journey is in art journals and I hope to expand to canvases soon. Mix media is so much fun!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Pretty flowers!
Love the purple!
Fantastic project.
If my daughter sees this I’ll be busy making
one for her. Her kitchen is decorated with
Iris. Your flowers are beautiful.
thanks for sharing.
Wow! This project is just beautiful. I knew I liked the iris stamps but this project really shows off their beauty. Thanks for sharing!
I love this post. And I love that you are showing a simple version of what mixed media can be. This is more of what I’d like to create with mixed media, too. I love the sparkle on the glass. I will take the time to watch your video. I’m sure it looks great in your studio. I love it!
Very pretty…I have never done mixed media either, but this is inspiring! I love Tim holtz’ s work too..but it looks daunting. Your coloring is beautiful!!
Love your projects!
This is a great project. Very inspirational, and would be a lovely gift. The color of your orchids is so life like.
Beautiful project! Love the purples and that iris stamp set!
Great use of mixed media. Those irises are just beautiful. You nailed it!

Awesome! Love that Iris and your colouring is fantastic!
Valerija xx

This is gorgeous, Nina! Love the bright colors
The framed iris is stunning. The glitter you used made the perfect soil and you are right too —
Flowers have to grow from soil.
