Hi Friends!!
I hope all of you are
having a great weekend so far!! Today it
is my turn to highlight a card on the Artistic Outpost blog and I wanted to share
this Mixed Media card using Seed Packets Background along with Harvest and
Grunge Elements from the 2016 Spring Release at Artistic Outpost.
I love playing along with
online challenges and decided to incorporate the Mojo Monday #455 Sketch Challenge along
with the Splitcoaststampers’ WT591 “Celebrate Chocolate” Challenge into the
design :-)
If you have not
already visited the Artistic Outpost blog, or the other challenge sites yet, I
hope you will do so- fabulous inspiration from my Design Team sisters at the Artistic
Outpost as well as the Mojo Monday and Splitcoaststampers' challenge galleries!
To create a card:
Ink the Seed Packets Background with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Walnut Stain Distress Ink and stamp onto a
piece of Tip Top Taupe cardstock.
Use the Big Shot™
with the Double Stitched Circle Dies from Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) to cut
the circle portion from the upper left hand side of the stamped panel.
Use a Distressing
Tool to distress the outside edges of the panel, sponge Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage
Photo Distress Ink over the edges as well as the stamped area to age the paper,
mount onto Early Espresso cardstock and distress the edges again.
Ink the Seed Packets Background with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Ink,
stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
Trim the stamped Very
Vanilla cardstock panel, mount onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and
adhere to the Early Espresso card base.
Add the distressed
Seed Packets Background focal image panel on an angle, add a piece of 3/8”
Early Espresso Seam Binding Ribbon with the Very Vanilla Ribbon Slide and mount
onto the card base.
Using images from
Grunge Elements, ink the grid and the large splatter with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage
Photo Distress Ink and stamp over the panel, ink the coffee stain with Whisper
White Craft Ink and stamp a few times onto the panel as well.
Ink the sentiment from
Harvest with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink, stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla
cardstock, hand trim the banner and distress the edges with a distressing tool.
Mount the sentiment onto
Early Espresso cardstock, distress the edges once more, stamp the grid image
from Grunge Elements with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Ink and
sponge additional ink along the edges to age the paper.
Mount the sentiment
to the
After finishing this
card and photographing it for the Artistic Outpost blog post, I decided to add
additional shadows with the Vintage Watercolor Technique (using a Speedball®
Elegant Writer® Black Pen with an AquaPainter™) plus adding watercolor to the
vegetables with Ranger® Tim Holtz® Mowed Lawn, Ripe Persimmon and Gathered
Twigs Distress Markers for the “stepped up” version #2.

Ink/Mediums:
Stāz-On® Jet Black, Whisper White Craft Ink; Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo and
Walnut Stain Distress Ink; Card #2- Ranger® Tim Holtz® Gathered Twigs, Mowed
Lawn, Ripe Persimmon Distress Markers; Speedball® Elegant Writer® Black Marker

Love the addition of color to your card---it's amazing, and the sentiment is a good one!
Oh, wow! I thought the original was fabulous, then I scrolled down and saw how those watercolored vegetables just pop. Amazing card, Julie! Thanks for playing along with Mojo Monday!
