Mixed Media Flower!

Happy Saturday to you all! we have a beautiful day here at the cottage, not too hot, so this will be a nice day to get some chores done...first lot of chores to be done will be at my Mum's and then hopefully home for a little rest and play in the craft room.

Before we head off to complete our chores, I thought that I would share a Purple Onion Designs card with you all...this card I had an immense amount of fun creating...I tried my hand at a little mixed media type look card and I can tell you I cannot wait to create more with this style. Thanks to Stephanie Ackerman for her beautiful inspiration...



I took water colour paper, trimmed to size, spritzing the paper lightly with water to give it some tooth, I then swiped layers of distress stains, tumbled glass, borken china, shabby shutters, peeled paint and picket fence, I kept layering until I was happy with the result and heat set using heat tool. I then took the mixed middles flower and stamped it to one side of the paper, making sure to stamp with jet black archival ink, so that inks would not run. Colouring the flower in with memento markers, adding shading with a tombow grey marker and dots of white gel pen on the flower also applying glossy accents to the heart in the centre. Next, I took Studio Calico mister heuy's, calico white and added droplets over the paper. I added a sentiment from one of the hometown collection stamps and completed the card by drawing two lines around the outside with a black marker, adding lines to create a checkerboard effect, coloured each section in with a white marker and the black marker, adhered this then to a trimmed white card.

Okay, I hope that you enjoyed viewing the card...

I will be back tomorrow with another creation for you to view...
