Hi there. I've had a very productive card-making day. I've made a few more DT cards and I've been dabbling in a bit of Mixed Media, trying some techniques I've seen on Youtube.
I recently received the new Speckled Egg Distress Oxide and Distress Glaze Embossing Powders and I can't stop using them! I am so addicted that sometimes I just make a smoohed background, just to look at it! So you can expect to see lots of Speckled Egg projects in the future:)
As you've probably noticed, I've been making lots of cards during this Covid Madness and I've become a bit bored of creating the 'same old, same old' ! So today I challenged myself to use some old stamps in a new way and to dabble in Mixed media. Here are some of the cards I made...
Made a smooshed background with Speckled Egg DO and dried.
Stamped PB 'Botanical Notes' on 2 corners & embossed with Speckled Egg Distress Glaze EP.
Stamped PB Diamond Pattern Background Stamp in other corners.
Stamped another old PB stamp with script over the diamond pattern.
Stamped PB 'Soft Wings on vellum papewr and embossed with Rose Gold.
Stamped the sentiment from PB 'Banner Sentiments' and mounted with foam tape.
Added sequins and pearls.
I was happy with the look, but in retrospect, I shouldn'tr have embossed any of the bnackground, as it became a bit to bold.
Inked Kaisercraft stencil with Speckled Egg& Iced Spruce DO ink , spritzed & flipped the stencil over onto the card-stock, ink-side down & then covered the stencil with a piece of paper towel, to soak up excess ink.
When dry, I re-aligned the stencil and sponged Antique Linen DO.
I then sprayed a touch of Altenew gold ink for a bit of shimmer.
Die-cut Sizzix Poinsettia, spritzed with water, scrunched up and dried.
Shape petals with embossing tool and fingers and construct the flower.
Softly spritz poinsettia with Altenew gold spray.
Add pearl brad in centre of flower.
Wiped Delicata gold ink over embossing folder, spritzed and passed through Big shot machine.
Stamp PB 'Banner Sentiments' sentiment and put card together.
