Hi Stampers!!
It’s time for the new
Card Concept #37 Inspiration Photo Challenge!
I just love all of the ombre butterflies in this
photo and used that as my inspiration for the background on my Mixed Media
card :-)
I combined our Card
Concept challenge with the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge MMMC#13 "A Year of Choices" and chose MMMC#7 Tic-Tac-Toe (Die Cuts or Punch, Stamps and Ribbon) for my card.
The Card Concept is a
bi-weekly challenge that has an inspiration photo along with a number of design
styles that you can choose from to create your card- Clean and Simple, Clean
and Graphic, Clean and Layered, Shabby Chic, Freestyle Collage, Classy and
Elegant and Mixed Media.
Hope you can find some time to gather your
supplies together and come join in on the fun!!
To create this card:
Apply Gesso® to a
piece of Whisper White cardstock and set aside to dry.
Once dried, apply Faber-Castell®
Gelatos™ to the paper, spritz with water a bit, rub with your fingers and
repeat until the desired color is achieved.
Once dried- de-static
the paper with an Embossing Buddy® ,
stamp the Off The Grid stamp using Versamark™ Ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss White Embossing Powder and heat with
the Heat Tool.
Trim the background panel,
adhere to a piece of Basic Black cardstock, trim again and mount onto a piece
of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.
Ink the floral stems
from World of Dreams using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp twice onto a piece
of acrylic (I used an upcycled clear mount stamp cover sheet that I had trimmed
to the size of the Gesso® background panel). There is a bit of a "blur" on the images stamped on the acrylic in the photo...since they are raised from the background, it was a bit difficult to photograph and not get too much sheen :-)
Ink the sentiment
from Choose Happiness with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp near the bottom of
the acrylic sheet.
Use a bit of glue to
mount the acrylic panel to the background – I put the adhesive in the area
where the ribbon would be mounted :-)
Slide the retired Stylish
Silver Hodgepodge Hardware Ribbon Slide onto a piece of 1” Black Satin Ribbon
and mount onto the card front (wrapping the ends behind the panel).
Mount the entire
panel onto the Whisper White card base
Stamp the butterflies
onto Whisper White cardstock using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and use an
AquaPainter™ with Pink Pirouette and Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink to watercolor the
butterflies.
Punch the butterflies
out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch and use a foam brush to apply Mod Podge®
over the wings.
Allow to dry and mount
the butterflies to the card front using Hot Glue.
Add the Pearls to the
butterfly centers to finish off the card.
