Mixed media flower card

Hello all

I have a mixed media card to share today.

Start off by mixing Scarlet and Rose Red in a bit of water to make a watercolour ink. Next take a paint brush and paint the first colour on stating from the edge of the card. once the first colour has dried you can then paint over another colour until the first layer is finished.

Next use different texture stamps and stamp around the edges. Use black ink for the first layer and then brown ink on the second layer of stamps. Use the Black Soft Form paste and add a stencil mask to the edges of the card and allow it to set.

Rubb a bit of the Soft Form paste around the card to make it more grungy. Next ink the stem on the flower stamp and stamp it directly onto the white space on the card. Colour theis with Leaf Green Brusho Powder. Then stamp the flower  head and leaves onto white card and colour it carefully using Brusho powders. Cut them out and line the flower head up with the steam and glue it down along with the leaves.

Finish with a sentiment

Home Is Not A Place Stamp

House Dies

Stitched Rectangles Dies

Sequins Turqouise

Sequins Bronze

Cover a square card blank with patterned paper and tear a few strips of washi tape off and stick them to edges of the card.

For the shaker box i use craft foam instead of 3d sticky tape. First i find the two die sizes i want to use and then i place one inside the other and hold in place with washi tape.  I  then cut one or two frames from the foam and one from patterned paper.

 Next i cut the largest die from paper and from acetate. The foam frames i glue together, you can do more to create a deeper box. I glue the foam frames onto the rectangle cut from the patterned paper  and once the glue has dried i then add the micro beads and sequins. Then i seal it with the acetate and add the frame cut from patterned paper.

Glue lace along the back of the shaker box and then cut out three of the houses from patterned paper. Glue them to the front of the shaker box in a row and then add a sentiment to finish.
