Today is the day for a new challenge on the
Cropstop blog! For inspiration, I’m sharing a mixed media card that includes several different
embellishments and mediums. There’s plenty of texture and dimension to
this spring collage.
To create the base for this card I started with a 5.5 x 5.5 inch
white cardstock
base. I cut a slightly smaller green square and distressed the edges
with my scissors. A aqua square of designer paper is sewn on top. In
each corner I used my
Tim Holtz Gothic stencil and applied a layer of
white gesso.
Next I die cut a piece of white cardstock with my Beaded Ovals
Spellbinders die and used my
craft knife to trim out the center to create an open frame. Inside I stamped a sentiment (PSX) in
mermaid lagoon distress ink. In the upper corner I tied a bow with
light blue and
parrot green twine and added a tiny rose from the Tiny Tattered Florals Die Set (
Tim Holtz).
Across the bottom I added a piece of
blue lace (from
Petaloo), and a large flower die cut with
Tim Holtz‘s Tattered Florals die. The flower is stamped with my plaid background stamp from
Impression Obsession in
salty ocean distress ink. A large pearl adorns the center and
three tiny pearls decorate the top of the card.
I'd love to see your mixed media projects - so hop on over to the Cropstop blog and link up your creations to the
