Post 331: Mixed Media Card-"Live Laugh Love"

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Tall Mixed Media Card today. 

For this motivational card, I created texture in the background with a check design stencil and Prima's modeling paste. Then sprinkled on pigment powders and sprayed with water to dissolve the pigments and blend the colors. Then heat embossed the chipboard title in white. The butterfly embellishments were created with snippets of watercolor paper and a punch, gems were added for sparkle & for some added texture a little gauze was added under each butterfly. In the end, a little white and black splatter was created. 

List of Supplies:

Prima's Heavy White Gesso
Prima's Modelling Paste
Prima's Soft matte gel

Niro Craft Pigment Powders for watercoloring
Niro Craft Chipboard Title

Butterfly Punch

Ranger's White Embossing Powder

Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad

Ranger's Heat Tool
Tacky Glue

Checks Stencil

Black and White Cardstock

Canson Watercolor Paper 

Snippets of Watercolor paper

Gauze

Gems

Added jute twine and thread for texture. Then added the focal vintage image of a lady. Embellised the card with a vintage clock and stars. In the end, added the title "You're only as old as you think you are" and created a bit of splatter.

Post 329: Mixed Media Butterfly Card

Hi friends!

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Butterfly Card today :)

Synopsis of the Process:

For this Butterfly card I created texture using the checks design stencil and Prima's modeling paste. Then sprinkled on pigment powders and sprayed them with water to dissolve the pigment, create movement and blend the colors. Then stamped the butterfly but since it was stamping on texture, it didn't stamp perfectly, so I created a loose-watercolored look by using a black zig marker and an aqua brush. Stamped in the background for added interest. Used Tim Holtz stickers for the quotes "Today is full of possibilities", "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful" and "look on the bright side". Then embellished the butterfly with a gem and in the end created some black and white splatter. 

List of Supplies:

Visible Image Stamp- Live Life Now
Prima Finnabair Vintage Vanity Advert #3 stamp
Prima's Modelling Paste
Tim Holtz Idealogy Stickers
Versafine Onyx Black Mini Inkpad
Niro Craft Checks Stencil
Niro Craft Pigment Powders
White and Black Cardstock
Canson Watercolor Paper
Green Gem
Black Zig Marker
Aqua Brush

Post 327: Mixed Media Layout- Enjoy the Journey

Hi friends !

I'd like to share a Mixed Media Layout- "Enjoy the Journey" This was part of my November DT work for Bob n Betty, all the details can be found here. I was inspired by the challenge over on the More than Words Challenge blog with the theme of "Outdoors" and "Woodgrain", so I took a wood grain pattern paper for my layout and for the outdoors I depicted journey and travelling. I have always wanted to travel to France and enjoy their beautiful green country side and that was my inspiration. I wanted it to have a vintage look so stuck to shades of brown and neutrals with a little pink. 

Synopsis of the Process: 

-Prepared the pattern paper with clear and heavy white gesso.
-Did background stamping and stenciling and heat embossed in white.
-Heat embossed the chipboards in black.
-Layered fussy cut vintage images, burlap, gauze & jute string to form the composition.
-Added color with sprays and a few details like doodling and borders with white acrylic paint.

-Darkened the edges of the page and added brown and white splatter at the end.

List of Supplies:

Bob n Betty's Cottage Blush Paper Collection

Prima's Heavy White Gesso, Clear Gesso
