In honor of my Mom

 

 

 

Greetings! I stumbled on a new challenge this morning, called Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, and decided to submit this card.(I selected Challenge #14 from June 2015 for my project.)  It was created using Golden Fluid Acrylics laid onto a craft sheet, spritzed with water and mopped up with a panel of water color paper.  It was a bit too dark, so I sprayed it with Linen Dylusions Spray Ink.  The background images were stamped with StazOn Ink in Midnight Blue.  The focal images were stamped on water color scraps with Ranger Archival ink.  I then scribbled TowBow Markers onto my craft sheet, spritzed with water and dragged the panels through the color to age them.  The edges were distressed with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and each panel was matted with black paper and added to the larger painted panel.  I added sequins, a bit of cheese cloth and a tiny dried starfish, matted the finished panel and layered into a white card panel.  Finished size 8" x 8". All images by Rubber Dance Stamps. It was titled as such, as I created it in honor of my mom on her recent birthday.  She loved the beach!  Best, Yvonne

April Showers

 

Happy Monday everyone!  Back today with a card I created for two challenges.  The first is for the new challenge over at Make My Monday where the theme is April Showers.  My card was also created for the challenge over at Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, which is also looking for projects with a theme of April Showers.

 

To create my card, I began with a piece of hot press water color paper.  I added Brusho Cyrstals in four colors to the card and spritzed with water.  When dry, I stamped raindrops by Designs by Ryn, repeatedly over the card panel.  A bit of white ink was added to each drop to make them glisten!  A strip of Washi Tape by Scarlet Lime was added to the bottom of the card panel.  The focal image is by Unity Stamps and was stamped on scrap card, fussy cut and colored with TowBow Markers and mounted to the card panel.  The sentiment, by Oxford Impressions was stamped on scrap card and secured to the card panel with washi tape from 3M. The panel was matted with black paper and attached to a card blank. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  I truly appreciate every visit and thoroughly enjoy your comments.  Hugs, Yvonne
