Hi Stampers!!
I wanted to try
another mixed media card and decided to use Splitcoaststampers MIX83 Naturally Elements MIX-Ability Challenge (Element- Fire) along with the SplitcoaststampersSC457 Sketch .
Supposedly there is no right or wrong with mixed media journaling- not sure about cardmaking, so I used the sentiment "hope" for that reason and our kitties are having dental surgery (annual cleaning) and we are hoping that all will be well :-)
This tehnique also allowed me to use a bit of my massive "stash" of embellishments, etc. so I had a great time creating this project. If you have not tried mixed media, I hope you will give it a try as well!!
Again, I hope that
you will find the time to visit the galleries and see all of the different
designs and inspiration!
To
create this card:
Stamp
the heart image using Staz-On® Jet Black Ink onto a piece of Royal Langnickel
Essentials™ Acrylic Paper and color the entire card panel including the heart
using Gelatos® (I used Red Cherry, Bubble Gum, Tangerine with a little bit of
Lemon). Use a paint brush to add water and
mix the colors.
Allow
to the panel to dry, add highlights to the heart with a white Watercolor Pencil,
mask the heart and stamp the splatter stamps from Gorgeous Grunge with
Blackberry Bliss Classic Ink. Lightly
sand the background area around the heart to add additional distressing.
Cut
the heart out and cut the remaining panel into strips. Adhere the strips onto a piece of Basic Black
cardstock and with a foam brush, apply Mod-Podge® to the panel of strips as
well as the cut—out heart image.
Once
the panel is dry, stamp the floral stamp using Stone Gray Staz-On® Ink over the
strips and add the 5/8” Basic Black Triple Satin Ribbon bow.
Adhere
the heart shape using Stampin’ Dimensionals® as well as the die cut cat and layered
sentiment (stamped onto Whisper White cardstock creating the banner points with
the Hexagon Punch, distress with the Distressing Tool, Add the heart clip and
key charm and mount onto Basic Black cardstock).
Use
the Distressing Tool to distress the edges of a piece of Designer Series Paper
(DSP) and adhere to the Basic Black card base using a Sewing Machine. Use a foam brush to apply Mod-Podge® to the
DSP panel.
Once the background panel is dry, mount
the focal image panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add the
Black Octagon shaped Rhinestones to the corners and sentiment.
Add
a few Rhinestones to the heart shape to finish off the card.
