Paper craft project no. 335: You are beautiful mixed media card


It's inspiration time from the STAMPlorations Inspiration Team! I'm joining the girls today for another batch of cards to CASE. 

To create my card, I took a panel that's smaller than my card base and used stamps from the Mixed Media Grunge set to create the background. (It's the April/May 2015 stamp club set that will be available in the shop beginning on the first week of April.) I toned down the brown with a thin layer of gesso. Once the gesso dried, I scribbled Gelatos (mango, lemon, metallic mint, and lavender) and blended the colors with my finger. I placed the Honeycomb Delight ARTplorations stencil on the panel, took a baby wipe, and proceeded to wipe away some of the colors through the stencil. Next I took a black watercolor pencil and traced inside the hexagons and ran a damp brush over it to blend the color a bit. I cut the panel in two, distressed the edges, and applied coffee archival ink around before adhering the panels to my card base. The sentiment is from Hashtag Authentic.

Stop by the STAMPlorations blog to see some more awesome inspiration from the team! If you decide to CASE my card or any of the cards by the team, link it up to the Inspiration CASE Playground by April 5. You can win a $15 gift certificate to the shop or your choice of 2 ARTplorations stencils :o)

    1. Thanks, Pooja! This card, however, isn't a one layer card -- as made the background on a panel that I cut and adhered to the card base :o)
