Post 400: Simple Mixed Media Card- Hi

Hi folks!

I'd like to share a Simple Mixed Media Card.

For this Hi card, to create the background, I sponged on white acrylic paint through the Dress My Craft (DMC)- Swirls Stencil and then with a soft touch created a sponged on white border. The sentiment is a die cut from Winnie & Walter's In a Word Cutaways to which I added DMC-Rainbow Glitter using Dovecraft’s Ultimate Acrylic Craft Glue. This was part of my GD post for Crafter's Corner a few days back, all the details are here. 

 

Here is a photo of the card:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

Winnie & Walter's 4th Birthday Bash Celebrations:

Four Challenge with Shay (4 layers- die cut word, main stenciled panel, black mat & white card base)

Comeback Challenge with Taheerah (I was inspired by Taheerah's black and white card below. I also made a black and white card and to add the rainbow element, I added rainbow glitter on the die cut word "Hi" although it doesn't show up well in the photos. 

Thanks for your precious time!

Love reading your sweet comments :)

Stay Blessed

Post 220: CAS One Layer Card- Hi!

Hi folks!

Hows your week looking? The weather here has turned quite unpleasant lately. It is humid and so hot. There isn't much one can do except staying indoors, having a lot of liquids and putting on the air conditioning. So I spent many hours crafting and challenged myself to make cas one layer cards. They are quite difficult for me, especially, if I want to keep them totally flat. So no sequins or embellishments. 

Today, the first card I'd like to share is a CAS OLC. I was happy to use a couple of never before used supplies: a stamp and stencil. This is slightly smaller than an A2 card so it is 5.25 by 4 inches in size. I basically sponged on distress oxide inks through a hexagon shaped stencil and then heat embossed the sentiment and bee in bright yellow. I kept the color scheme as yellow and black to go with the summery "bee" theme. 

List of Supplies:

Paper Smooches Stamp- Garden Greetings 

Hexagon Design Stencil

Ranger's Distress Oxide Inkpads- Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade

Ranger's Round Blending Tool and Foams

Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad

Homemade Emboss Buddy

Ranger's Embossing Powder- Lemon

Ranger's Heat tool

Here are a couple of photographs of the card:
