My 2nd Mixed Media card

Good Morning Ladies,

Oh I am enjoying this Mixed Media Challenge, I have rainbow coloured hands and a very messy craft desk, but hey thats proper crafting, how are you all getting on with this challenge??

So for this card I reached for my Distress Oxide inks, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin, I used them over the main stamped image, keeping the colour quite strong.  The image was a free die from Creative Stamper Magazine Issue 67, I stamped it in Black ink and added Clear embossing powder and heat set, I then blended those Distress Oxide inks onto that stamped image. I set that piece a side and started on my background, I took my Base card and used the remainder of those Free Stamps and Memento Grey and stamped the patterns randomly around the card, I then blended (much lighter) the same ink colours into the background.

I decided the background needed a bit of shine, so I stamped another of the backgrounds a few times around the card and added silver embossing powder and heat set, I stamped the pen nibs onto mirror card and heat set with clear ink and fussy cut and added them on opposite sides of my card to give a different texture.

To finish the card I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and punched it out.

I love how bright it is xx

We had a really mixed bag of weather yesterday, bright, glorious sunshine, wind and torrential rain, we were supposed to have storms too but at the time I wrote this blog we hadn't had those, which was fine by me, I don't mind a storm at night, when it's dark as they are magnificent to watch.

I hope that you are all well and that you have a lovely well, special hugs to those of you that are under the weather.

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
