Can you believe we have wrapped up the first quarter of the year. Craziness I tell you!! In my part of the world, spring has definitely sprung. I love seeing all things anew--it's like a painting in progress.
This month we are going to focus on using paints, splatters, stamps, and messy marks in our layout. If you need some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, check out Rachel's Art Mixed Media Board. I'm leaving this challenge pretty open ended as I really want everyone to embrace using these fun mixed media elements in their layout. You may add other elements and photos if you choose, the only requirement is, is that the paints, splatters, stamps and messy marks MUST be visible and not completely covered up and/or overshadowed by other elements/items.
Here's my layout:
Here are some examples from the team:
From @Roxana
Hybrid LO by @AJM
From @marijke
So here's the plan for this challenge:

So here's the plan for this challenge:
- Create a mixed media layout that focuses on the use of paints, splatters and messy marks
- You can use photos or go photoless
- You may use as many elements, other mixed media items or any paper of your choice as long as the above mixed media items are the primary items being used and visible.
- Layout must use at least 75% of Rachel's Product. If you decide to mix in another designer, the other 25% must contain product from another current Oscrap's designer. The product can be currently available in the Oscrap Shop or be retired products from Rachel or a current designer.
- Hybrid projects are also welcome and the same product rules apply. Where digital products are used in a hybrid Project they must all come from Oscraps designers and at least 75% of Rachel's Product.
- Templates are NOT allowed for this challenge.
- Rachel's Collabs that are in her store at Oscraps are allowed.
- Upload your layout to the Rachel Jefferies Designs Gallery at Oscraps and list the designs used in your credits.
