Recently I did a WTNV craft swap, and this is one of the things I made for my partner. I used a small canvas, scrapbooking paper, modpodge, wooden cut outs, E6000, a plastic cactus, an empty pocket watch (found in the jewellery section of my local craft store), washi tape, string, a small piece of leather, number stickers, letter "thickers" (yes, that's actually what they're called!), a felt tip pen, and glow in the dark paint - to make the Glow Cloud really glow! The cost of this project is really up to you - it cost me nothing to make since I have a very large stash, but if you were buying everything new it could end up costing quite a bit more. Hunt around your house and see what you have; it doesn't necessarily have to be a craft supply to end up in a mixed media project ~____^

Cut scrapbooking paper to size and use mod podge to attach to all sides of the canvas. For the house pattern paper, I used a ruler to rip it and create a more interesting edge than a straight cut would have been.
Stick down the letters and use your felt tip pen to write out a quote.
Cut off the base of the plastic cactus and glue it on with E6000.
Paint a wooden cloud cut out with glow in the dark paint and glue it down. Add the WTNV eye to one of your three music notes and glue them down also.
Add woodland themed washi tape to one side, stick down three wooden rabbit cut outs, and use your felt tip pen to add a quote and some eyes.
Add some glasses pattern washi tape down the side of the canvas, overlapping to the bottom. This tape reminds me of a certain scientist. Use a felt tip pen to write a quote on some paper and glue it to the glass of the empty pocket watch. Thread string through the handle of the pocket watch and use E6000 glue and a small scrap of leather to attach it to the canvas.
Add some washi tape over the scrapbooking paper, to create a more interesting layout. Lay the string across the top of the canvas, and glue three wooden wine glass cut outs on top of it. Add a wooden speach bubble cut out and use your felt tip pen to add a quote across the cut outs.
Stick down some more washi tape and add a wooden cat cut out to the base of the canvas.
Put number stickers down the side of the canvas, overlapping to the top and the bottom.
Add a message to the back of the canvas to remind everyone to continue to work productively!
