Hi Friends!
Today I am sharing this
Mixed Media card on the Artistic Outpost (AO) blog using the new AO Spring 2016
Release stamps, Harvest, Seed Packets Background and Grunge Elements.
I am linking this
card to the Splitcoaststampers’ MIX1 “Yin Yang” Challenge- see details here and gallery here (the very first Mix-Ability Challenge from January 2013- thankfully, there is no time limit with the SCS Challenges :-)).
I hope you have a chance to visit us at
the Artistic Outpost blog as well as the Splitcoaststampers challenge gallery – fabulous
inspiration from all!
To create this card:
De-static a piece of Crumb
Cake cardstock with the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the sentiment from Harvest with
Versamark™ ink onto the prepared cardstock and heat emboss with Stampin’ Emboss® Black
Embossing Powder.
Once the embossing powder has cooled, ink the Grunge Elements splatter stamp with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Ink and stamp
over the sentiment.
Trim the sentiment
panel, mount onto Basic Black cardstock, trim once more and set aside.
For the background
panel, ink the Seed Packets Background stamp with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and
stamp onto Crumb Cake cardstock.
Tear the edges by
hand and distress the paper using a Sponge Dauber with Ranger® Tim Holtz®
Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Mount the background
panel onto a piece of distressed Basic Black cardstock and add the stenciling using
a honeycomb stencil with Crackle Texture Paste.
Once the paste has
dried, apply Tim Holtz® Distress Collage Crazing Medium over the background and
set aside to dry.
Once the background
has dried, add the 1 ¼” Black Grosgrain Ribbon on a diagonal and adhere the
strips of Burlap Ribbon in the center (the glue will be hidden by the focal
image).
Mount the entire
panel onto the Whisper White card base and lightly sponge Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea
Dye Distress Ink around the edges to age the white card base.
Stamp the young farmer
with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto Crumb Cake cardstock and use the
Faber-Castell® White Pitt Pen Marker to add highlights to the image.
Trim and mount onto a
piece of Basic Black cardstock and apply Tim Holtz® Distress Collage Crazing
Medium over the entire image.
To finish off the
card, mount the focal image panel along with the sentiment using dimensional
foam.
