Hi
Friends!
I
hope you had a wonderful weekend! I had
a chance to relax and create a Mixed Media card using the
new Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Texture Tiles I (the March stamp of the month- see details here) with the previously released sets,
Wait on the Lord and Peaceful Peonies.
The
main image panel is only one layer but I did layer it onto two additional layers of
cardstock, so it is technically not a one layer card :-). It is fairly easy to create but did take some
time with the watercolor, heat embossing and stenciling.
I am
participating with the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Tic-Tac-Toe #2 Challenge (Purple-Flowers-Glitter-the flower is very glittery IRL), the Just Add Ink #400 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the pastel blues and spring feeling of the photo) and the Word Art Wednesday #326-#327 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous
inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
De-static a piece of watercolor paper with an embossing powder tool. Ink the large peony image from Peaceful Peonies with archival black ink, stamp onto the prepared paper, apply clear
embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Watercolor the image with distress inks, markers and distress stains
(see list of colors used below).
2).
Watercolor the background with tumbled glass and broken china distress ink,
heat with the heat tool to dry. Once
dried, de-static the paper with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse from
Wait on the Lord with archival black ink, stamp onto the panel and heat set
with clear embossing powder.
3).
Use a stencil brush with broken china distress ink to stencil a light chevron
pattern in the background and stamp the grid image from Texture Tiles I
randomly over the area.
4).
Trim the panel and mount onto a piece of green cardstock, trim again and mount
onto a piece of black cardstock before mounting onto the white card base.
5).
Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the flower petals and an Extra Fine Sharpie®
White Paint Pen to add white highlights to the stamens.
6).
Finish off the card with Morning Dew Nuvo™ Crystal Drops.

ReplyDeleteSo vivid! It just jumped right off the page. Thanks for joining us this week at Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just stunning, Julie! No surprise there though since I've seen many beautiful cards you've made throughout the years! :) Thanks for sharing it with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday for our second Tic Tac Tuesday Challenge.
