Hi again! Here is another mixed media card. I made this for Ate Lany. Her birthday will be on the 24th. Well, I went a bit over the top on the flowers, but I can't undo it anymore. She has to bear with it. Heh. It just came out like that. I was only supposed to put in the one light blue inside the frame, but I ended up adhering one after another. It still looks pretty to me though. What do you think?
I originally wanted to make a tall card which was at least 7 1/2" long, but the main paper that I wanted to use was only 6" so I would have to settle for a smaller version.
Did I tell you before that I looooove distress stains and inks? Gah. They are just so versatile. I love using them on my projects (I should remember adding glass bead gel or Mod Podge first though before putting them in.)
So how did I make it? I distressed the papers. I adhered the first patterned paper onto the base while I worked on the main patterned paper separately. I stenciled onto the paper with light molding paste. I then stamped some text after it dried. Then I added color to it using distress stains in shades of blue. The background will not be complete without splattering the inks onto the surface. Afterwards, I added the embellishments. I decided against adding glass beads. I glazed the flowers with metallic acrylic paint as a finishing touch before adhering the whole thing onto the base. Oh, I also put in a sticker from my new sticker book for the sentiment.
That was that. Another card done! I'll just put it into one of my acetate boxes later on or on a box with the gift that we'll be giving her as a group. Thanks for looking today! Have a great Sunday!
