Good Morning Everyone!
Last's month's mixed media cards were so much fun that I decided to do it again. This time I am using the Sympathy Morning Glories Stamp Set.
I started with a piece of Yupo Paper, alcohol inks ad embossing powder. Using pink, yellow and orange alcohol inks, I created a inked background. Next, I stamped the Yupo with Versamark Ink and then carefully heat embossed it in gold embossing powder. The panel did warp a little, but since I fussy cut the image out, it really did not matter.
As the image had an Asian flair to it, I decided to go with red and black cs. I found this black panel in my stash that had been embossed with Translucent embossing paste. I added that and a red strip of cs and finished off with the flowers, backed with a white circle.
The sentiment, from the Birthday Wordfetti Stamp Set, was stamped and heat embossed in gold on black cs on a narrow strip of paper and then adhered to the card. I did not feel any need to add bling to this. You can see all of the shine and texture here~
Next up, another mixed media card using the Sympathy Morning Glories stamp set, but much simpler and subdued- much more appropriate for a sympathy card~
This card was started with a gel press print in blue. I die cut a circle from it. It would make a good base for some monochromatic blue flowers. The flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. I tried to stay really light, but I have such a hard time doing that!
Once colored, I fussy cut the flowers out. I opted to mount the circle and flowers in the bottom right corner of the panel, but the card seemed to need a little more so I added a white card front die cut. The sympathy sentiment strip and a few sequins finish the card.
And I cannot finish this post without sharing something from the new release!
Yup, still trying to keep things, light, soft and pastel! This time I colored the beautiful cake from the Just Married Stamp Set and fussy cut it out. I kept things simple here, adding it to a patterned paper circle with a sentiment strip.
