Post 160: CAS Mixed Media Card: Happiness is a State of Mind

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a CAS Mixed Media Card today. I tried out a new technique today i.e.- "Decoupage" and I must say I enjoyed it quite a bit! 

Synopsis of the Process:

The card panel is a wonky stitched rectangle die cut on which I decoupaged 3 butterflies from a napkin using mod podge gloss lustre. After that I did some ink smooshing with distress inks and water from a spray bottle. Then using archival ink stamped some flowers. For the sentiment, heat embossed it on vellum using black embossing powder and then tore the vellum to a rough rectangle shape for added interest, stuck this to the card panel with some dots of Tombow glue. Then created some black splatter with watered down black ink from a zig and then stuck the card panel to the card base. In the end, added gold colored sequins to finish off the card. 

List of Supplies:

Rubber Dance Stamps- Textured Flowers and sentiment from Something Wonderful Set
Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die
Butterfly design Napkin
Mod Podge Gloss Lustre
Mini Distress Inkpads-festive berries, tattered rose, worn lipstick, fired brick, dried marigold and carved pumpkin 
Water Spray Bottle
Iris Cardstock 250 gsm
Black Zig marker
Homemade emboss buddy
Ranger's Super Fine Detail Black Embossing Powder
Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad 
Ranger's Heat Tool
Ranger's Archival Ink- Jet Black
Tombow Mono Multi Glue

Here are a Couple of Pictures of the Card:
