Post 367: 4 Wintery Holiday Themed Mixed Media Tags

Hi friends :)

Hope you are having a great time during the holidays :) I'd like to share 4 winter/holiday themed Mixed Media Tags I made for the Holiday Season recently. This was part of my DT work for PABD, all the details are here along with a photo tutorial. The poinsettia has been stamped and heat embossed in white on vellum. I love the delicate look vellum provides :) I made the flower dimensional by adhering 2 fussy cut flowers together. Multiple layers have been created by using gauze, die cuts, chipboards, vellum flowers, threads & twine. The white splatter created at the end, looks like snowfall. I really love the fresh color combination on these tags and will probably use it again. 

List of Supplies:

Lindys shimmer spray-Drop Dead Gorgeous Green, Magical- TiffanyLou Blue from the Sweet Treats Shimmer Magical set, Guten Tag Teal Magical Shaker and Purely White embossing powder here.

Post 359: Vintage Shabby Chic Card (Bauble)

Hi friends :)
Happy Sunday!

I'd like to share a Vintage Layered Shabby Chic Christmas Card today. This was part of my DT work for Bob n Betty, all the details can be checked out here. I made 2 cards, this is one of them. This one features a Christmas bauble :) The sentiment reads, "with love". 

Synopsis of the Process:

This card is 4.5 by 8.5 inches in size. There are multiple layers in the card, the main panel is made from Decoupage paper (Vintage Wheels Collection). I’ve added hand stitching to the borders, for a finished look & as a textural element. The edges of all the papers and mats were deckled and distressed for a worn out look. Elements used for layering & embellishment include lace, old book papers, torn pieces of scrapbook papers (Woodies Collection), twine, die cuts, wood embellishments, gems, net, gauze, pollens & buttons. Some of the elements were foam mounted to get a 3-d look and white gesso was dry brushed on some of the elements like the pollens to get a more shabby look. In the end, white splatter was created with white acrylic paint, to imitate the look of snow and a few pearls were added using perfect pearls.

List of Supplies:
Bob n Betty Decoupage Papers- Vintage Wheels Collection
Bob n Betty Papers- Woodies Collection
Sizzix Tim Holtz Die- Mini Holiday Greens
Prima Heavy White Gesso
Prima 3d Matte Gel
Pollens

Post 290: Vintage Mixed Media Layout- Forever

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Vintage Mixed Media Layout titled Forever. This was for my October DT project at Bob n Betty papers, all the details can be checked out here. 

I’ve depicted a vintage wedding here. I was inspired by all the "delicate flowers, net & soft colors  in these papers". Essentially, clear gesso was applied on the background (to prep the surface and not hide the beautiful designs of the paper) then color was added with ink sprays. Background stamping was done and a few stamped designs were embossed in white. Then, the wedding photo was framed within an embossed mdf frame. Pearls were adhered to the frame to make it the focal point. Lots of flowers from the paper pack were fussy cut and used for embellishment and layering. I’ve added gauze fabric, burlap string and vintage lace for texture and interest. I've also used a doily to keep with the delicate theme. White splatter was created to bring the design together.

Supplies Used:

Bob n Betty's Cottage Blush Paper Pack

Vintage Lace

Gauze Fabric

Prima's Clear Gesso

Prima's Heavy White Gesso

Prima's 3D Matte Gel

Finnabair Mini Stamps

Lindy's Sprays 

MDF frame, flowers

Burlap string

Flowers 

Ranger's White Embossing Powder 

Ranger's Heat gun

Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad 

Half Pearls 

Tombow Mono Multi Glue 

Here is a photo of the layout:

Here are some close-up photos:

I am playing along with the following challenges:

1. More than Words Main Challenge (October)- I have depicted delicate via the flowers, net, colors and theme of the wedding. Also used vintage lace & gauze fabric for layering. 

Thanks for your time!
