Today I am sharing another Mixed Media card using digi stamps
from Power Poppy. I love the versatility
of using a digital image with traditional card making techniques and it is so
easy to do so!
I used the colors from the Power Poppy Hues "Buzzing with Color” Challenge and
also linking to the Simon Monday “Stencil It” Challenge and The Challenge #88 “Keywords”(Flowers, Watercolor).
If you have not had a chance to visit the challenge blogs yet,
I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!
To create this card:
1). Using a photo editing software, import the main floral
digital image from Tulips and the sentiment from Roses and Chamomile from Power
Poppy (I used the retired My Digital Studio™ from Stampin’ Up!). Print both out onto a piece of 8 ½” x 11”
Whisper White cardstock, die cut the Tulips image with a stitched rectangle
die.
2). Watercolor the tulips using an AquaPainter™ with
watercolor pencils, graphite pencil and distress inks. Use Hickory Smoke
Distress Ink with a chevron stencil to add stenciling to the background. Apply shimmer with a clear glitter pen over
the stenciling as well as the petals and white highlights with an extra fine
white paint pen.
4). Trim the sentiment, add the flag points using a hexagon
punch, mount onto Basic Black cardstock and create the points again with the
punch.
5). Emboss a piece of gray cardstock with a lattice embossing
folder (retired SU!), trim and mount onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto
black cardstock and adhere to the white card base.
6). Mount the entire tulip focal image panel with dimensional
foam, add the looped silver cord and mount the sentiment (with dimensional foam
as well). Finish off the card with a few
rhinestones in the corner.
