Hi Again Stampers!!
Here is the 2nd
Mixed Media card that I created for the Mix-Ability MIX93 Challenge at Splitcoaststampers. The
challenge is Artist Inspired and the featured artist is France Papillon .
I hope you have a
chance to check out all the entries in the MIX93 gallery here – wonderful inspiration from
all!
The panels for both
cards were created using similar colors and techniques- I described in detail
the technique for the background in the first part of my previous post here :-)
Once you create the distress main background panel from my previous post (see link here), use the Distressing
Tool to distress a piece of Basic Black cardstock, mount onto the card base
(again, I used the same heavier weight of cardstock that was used for the
background panel). Use a Sponge Dauber
to add Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Stain to the white areas of the card
base.
Add a few strands of
1 ½” Burlap Ribbon strands onto the front of the card and mount the distressed,
ink background panel to the card front.
Using My Digital
Studio (MDS), insert the Touch of Nature and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp brush images
into a blank document and resize (I had both of these already pre-printed in my
stash). I had printed both of these out
onto the same type of cardstock as noted above for the background panel.
Use the Big Shot™
with the Ovals Collection Framelits™ to cut the flower image and also cut a
larger oval from Basic Black cardstock. Use
the Distressing Tool to distress the edges of the Basic Black oval.
Color the floral
image using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor pencils and wet with the AquaPainter™. Add the white highlights using a Faber-Castell
White Pitt Artist Pen and stamp the Gorgeous Grunge splatter stamp using Ranger®
Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink.
Use a Sponge
Applicator to apply additional Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink over the
entire image and apply Gesso (I used my finger) with stencils in a few areas.
Add the floral oval
to the distressed Basic Black oval and mount the focal image onto the card
front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Create the rolled
flowers using Elegant Eggplant and Blackberry Bliss cardstock (I had a few of
these flowers on hand so I used both colors). To create the flowers- use Scallop Circle
Punches- One each using the 2 ⅜”, 1 ¾” and 1 ¼”. Hand cut a spiral from the outside edge of
the scallop toward the center of the cardstock, scrunch the cardstock to break
up the fibers and hand roll the flowers and adhere to the center of each
scallop (I like to use Hot Glue to hold the flowers together)- here is a basictutorial...
Using your finger, lightly
apply Gesso to the flowers and use the Faber-Castell™ Pitt Copper 252 Artist
Pen to the petals to add a bit of metallic and mount the flowers onto the card
front (again, I used Hot Glue).
Stamp the butterflies
onto Whisper White cardstock using Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink and punch out
using the Elegant Butterfly Punch.
Sponge Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye Distress Ink onto the image and add
white highlights with the Faber-Castell White Pitt Artist Pen.
Punch out the Basic
Black butterflies using the Elegant Butterfly Punch and mount the sponged
butterflies onto the Basic Black butterflies. Add the two butterflies to the
card front.
Add the sentiment
using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and adhere Pearls to the butterfly centers as well
as the corners to finish off the card.
