Mixed Media

Today I have a card to share for our last week of challenges in our group, I have two more to go :) This one we were challenged to do a mixed media card, using at least three different items from a list she gave, I used a stencil, paper perfect for my medium to use on the stencil, die cuts, jute, button and then topped it off by using some pewter distress stain to splatter over the entire card.


I have had the paper perfect stuff for many years like over 10 and it still was wet, it came in a natural color so I added a bit of color with my sparkle pens and mix before putting on my stencil.  This stuff does not work as well as modeling paste, it was a bit too wet so it went under the stencil but I will have to say it gave some neat texture and so I went with it. I cut the sentiment die 3 times to give it more dimension.

A picture to show the shine the pewter splattering gave to it.

  7. Vert pretty!!
    Thanks so much for stopping by and for commenting on my post about early retirement!! I appreciated your input especially looking at it from a Stay at Home Mom's point of View on having an Empty Nest!! It really is a comparable situation with what to do now that one has a lot more time on your hands that you did not have before. I have started to make my To Do Lists again...It keeps me focused and on track with what I want to do...I usually write down things to do when I think of them since they seem to fly right out of my head if I don't!!
    Hugs,
    Debbie

  9. You've been on a roll since my last visit! This is so cool, Connie! I have to say that I think it worked out beautifully that the paper perfect stuff went under the stencil because it ended up looking like those thick glass squares they use for accent walls. Know what I mean? It used to be real popular. Sea glass? Can't remember what it's called, darn it, but I love your card!
