Hi all! I'm still busy in catch-up mode and am here with the winners for our Mixed Media Challenge - TMR#65. The thumbnail display was fantastic.

WINNER


Super birthday card with so many shades of grey and black.
Love the shine of the different embossing powders and textures.
A brilliant take on this challenge.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS
(in order of submission)



A really super clean, simple design.
A great use of a hot glue gun to give the raised and embossed detail on the panel.
Great work!



Fabulous combination of different products here.
Love the screw head brads, the stamped cogs and the wooden ones too.
Love the use of the white pen to suggest movement.



Wonderful panel created with lots of techniques.
Great use of rust paste on the cogs, use of fabric and thread and layered images.
Another fabulous take on this challenge.

Many congratulations to you all. Please pick up your badges from the sidebar and display them on your blogs.

This is a really super theme for a masculine card.
Love the watercolour background and the way you've used micro beads for texture!



Absolutely ingenious!!
Such a fun pizza.  My favourite type too - calorie free!!




A wonderfully vintage looking card with lots of texture.
The fibres from the background, the tag and the metallic embellishment.

Challenge #65 - Technique

Hi! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break. Over here in the States most of the schools have been on break for at least a month, but I know that UK schools are only just about to start. This time of year always brings a big change to our regular routines - and hopefully you have time to craft. And, perhaps, get your kids involved in crafting too. So our challenge here at The Male Room - TMR#65 for the next couple of weeks is a really fun one, we want you to use:


on your masculine projects. To me, this means getting inky and have lots of fun with paints, glue, etc. We can't wait to see what you make. Here's some inspiration from the Design Team:




You have until midnight (BST) on Tuesday 1st August, that's 7.00pm EDT in the States, to play along with our inky challenge. Do have fun!
