and some mixed media products to
make this card.
I created my own background with an embossing folder and some
Gelatos. I then added some Gesso over the top to help
mute the colors and then
added some stitching around the edges.
I am playing along with Mona's new
Mixed Media no.3. I loved the colors of this challenge.
After my background was complete
I added some acrylic paints and a bit of doodling
to the edges of the sentiment panel.
I tucked in a few swirls from my Fancy Flourishes Die-namics
were added behind the words.
One more detail I added was a few of the aqua enamel dots.
I made birthday card for this one, using this month's special stamp set.
It's so cool and you'll want to get it at
the special pricing while you can.
While I still had out my Gelatos, I added some color to this
specialty woodgrain kraft paper.
The stars are from last month's SMAK kit.
I was able to add multiple colors to my sentiment by
masking off portions of it before adding each color.
I gave it a huff and stamped it.
I added some distress ink along the edges.
Thanks for checking me out today.
there is MORE to see.
Karen is up next.
She has a gorgeous canvas to share today.
