Thursday Thoughts

Mmmm! It's a mixed media challenge for me today - and this is a challenge for me when I'm creating cards!


I think it was the 'must use a stencil' that got me hooked and wanting to give it a go. So thanks ARTplorations for inspiring me to try. But somehow my card still turned out to be CAS!


 I started by inking up a strip at the bottom and then used the ghosting technique with a stencil and baby wipe. I then turned the stencil and went back over it with the same colours of ink. on top of this I stamped the daisy row.


I then drew a pen line along the top edge of the inking and added a die cut sentiment strip. the dot on the 'i' was just too fiddly to glue on so I used a black gem instead.

I'm thinking this qualifies as mixed media as I used inking, a stencil, stamping, a hand drawn line, a die cut and a gemstone.

Suppiles:
Stamps: STAMPlorations, Daisy Row
Inks: Ranger distress oxide, twisted citron, salty ocean, peacock feathers; Versafine Clair, nocturne
Stencil: ARTplorations, Shutters
Die: Lawn Fawn, Happy Birthday Border
Gem from my stash

It's been wonderful having your company today. Thanks so much for visiting.

And keep crafting!

  2. Love your CAS card Jane and mixing the medias. This is what I enjoy doing too, keeping it CAS and enjoying playing with the medias and techniques. In my mind Mixed Media doesn't have to be full on....just mixing your medias x Such a glorious card, great design, lots to look at, wonderful techniques and colours x.
