Hi Stampers!!
Sorry I have not
posted in a few days – I have been creating cards for the upcoming 2015 Dare to
Get Dirty Week at Splitcoaststampers!
This year I will be hosting one of the DTGD challenges for the very first
time and only Fan Club Members are allowed to see all of the challenge
particulars and participate (see details here on becoming a Fan Club Member).
The yearly membership
fee helps to offset the cost of maintaining the Splitcoaststampers website, so if
you are not already a Fan Club Member, I hope you will consider joining (no, I
do not receive commission, but for all of the gallery inspiration, free
tutorials, etc. that Splitcoaststampers provides to our art community, it is well
worth less than a penny a day to become a Fan Club Member :-)).
In the meantime, while
I had some of the Mixed Media supplies on my craft table, I decided to create a
card for the Mixed Media Monthly Card Challenge #13 “Blue” along with the Splitcoaststampers
Free For All F4A282 “Anything That Flies” Challenge (see details here and
gallery here).
Again, I hope you
will take the time to visit the above sites- fabulous Design Team creations as
well as gorgeous galleries and inspiration from all!
This
card was created using Gesso® over a piece of Stampin’ Up! retired DSP as the
background “base”, applying layers of Gelatos®, Ranger® Tim Holtz® Distress
Stains and Adirondack® Alcohol Inks as well as Crackle Texture Paste with
Stencils. Keep applying layers until you are satisfied (I am a messy Mixed Media artist so if you are like me, you fingers will become "blue" as well as the background- lol!)...
Add
the crochet lace, ribbon, stamped bird and digital sentiment along with a few
Pearls and you are done :-)
Stamp
Sets: Choose Happiness, Script (retired background stamp), Word Art Wednesday
(digital sentiment)
Ink: Stāz-On Midnight Ink, Island Indigo; Gelatos®,
Ranger® Tim Holtz® Distress Stains and
Adirondack® Alcohol Inks
Paper: Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Island
Indigo, Mossy Meadow, Perfect Plum; retired SU! DSP (patterned covered with
Gesso®)
Accessories: Gesso®, Heat Tool, Big Shot™, MFT Royal Mini Rose Dies, Flourish

Plum Taffeta Ribbon, 5/8” Satin Ribbon, Pearls
Thanks again for
taking the time to stop by- it is such an encouragement to me! Have a wonderful day, my friends!
Hi, Julie - Beautiful card and thanks for the urging to join The Fan Club. I had belonged a long time ago but never thought to go to the site so let the membership expire. But I want to join again mainly to support SCS in a monetary way and it's such a minor way at that. I'm more accustomed to using a computer now and think I'll be able to manage moving around the site better than before. So...progress is being made!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Aunt Pat!! I have been a Fan Club member for years- I know that $25 a year may be difficult for some, but since I spend a lot of time on the site, I felt it was worth the membership to help support the site as well :-) If you join before the first of August, you can view the DTGD Challenges and we would love to see some of your art in the gallery :-) Thanks for taking the time to comment- you are such an encouragement to me!! Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and such a great take on our 'Blue' challenge. Love it!
