I played along with SCS mix-ability challenge to create this card!
I used TH Distress Stains, Victorian Velvet and Tumbled glass. Scraped Gesso over the top using a gift card. Stamped the distress stamps and realized that the black ink was too bold so I covered it with a thin layer of gesso. When the paper was dry I sponged "Broken China" around the edges.
I created the banner using MFT Party Banner and used the same technique as above for the color.
I stamped the heart from Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps a HC - Be Proud and colored it with Copics. Even though I thought I was using a good color of blue the shade turned out just a bit off so a dab of gesso fixed that! I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and darkened the edges with ink.
For my final touch I sprinkled white acrylic paint on the card.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cut it Up - Red, White, and Blue - plus a die cut (party banner)

ReplyDeleteI bet that was a fun card to create. Looks wonderful! The blues remind me of denim -- very American!

ReplyDeleteYou had me at gesso! Your card is awesome! Love how you used gesso to help make it the color you wanted it. The banner is great too! Thank you for joining us at Clearly iStamp! :) ~Katy, GDT
ReplyDeleteAWESOME card, and I LOVE how you've used gesso to get the look you wanted. Very creative! Love the banner and the heart especially! Thanks so much for joining us at CI Paints this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is fabulous. I am going to have to get some gesso one of these days and start doing more mixed media. I have paint and that will work, but making myself get started is another thing or two or three. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the background work :) THanks for joining us at Cut It Up Challenges. :)
ReplyDeleteLook at you go with the mixed media. I am very interested in that, too. Haven't done a challenge in a couple weeks or more, though. You did a fab job with this patriotic card.
