Hi again! I have a loooot to catch up. More post are coming up after this. Haha. I’ve not been in touch for far too long.
Moving on. This time I am going to share to you the most
recent card that I made. It is a mixed media one with a purple, black and
silver color palette. I don’t use purple that much so I thought it would be
great to utilize my mostly untouched purple stash. It is actually a part of my
Mothers’ Day project. I am thinking of making different cards using the ROYGBIV
scheme. I mean I won’t do indigo, but I would try to make all the other colors.
Wouldn’t that be fun. And I will make several mixed media cards. Woohoo! I love
the texture and the dimensions.
Anyhow, I feel happy about this card. Aside from the front, I
also decorated the inside. See. I am employing the techniques I learned in
making mini albums. Thanks a lot to all the artists who are so generous to
share their knowledge and their talent to the world. I learn a lot from them
and I am inspired to create even more awesome projects. I love you guys!
As for the front of the card, I layered two distressed patterned
paper. I added molding paste and stamped an image for the background. I cut a
small part of a die cut and also cut the center to make the image show through.
I then adhered a couple of paper flowers which I gessoed and put glitters on
before doing so. I also affixed black pearls and some charms to add more flare.
At the bottom left of the card, I adhered another die cut. I am
thinking of writing or stamping the name of the recipient later on. For now, I
do not know who will get it so I will leave it at that.
Inside, I made a small pocket where a cardstock for the
message will be tucked in as well as a journaling card from the Graphic 45
Secret Garden Collection. I debated on whether to make a matching box for it or
just put it in an acetate box. Well, the acetate box seems to be more
appealing. I could make a small stand at the bottom and decorate it a bit to
match the card. What do you think? I’ll add a photo of it inside the acetate
box once I made the stand, but for now, I’ll only show images of the card
itself, okay?
I had a great time creating this piece. I hope to make the
other cards soon. Thank you for stopping by! Till the next post.
