Autumn beauty mixed media card
Welcome to my blog
Today I have for you a mixed media card that I am entering in the Monday challenge for Simon says stamp.
The challenge is to create your own background
Well I have used some of my favourite Distress spray oxides for the lovely speckled splotchy background. As you can see I then used an multi level embossing folder which I hi-lighted in places with a coloured wax. It is a very subtle look which when shows when the card is tilted. they are just visible in the corner of the image below.
In truth all the elements from Tim Holtz lovely Autumn wreath ( vault foliage wreath 666682) set are cut from background pieces I have created and added to my stash. These have been die cut and then inked in at least one colour.
These backgrounds were created with watercolour, Distress spray inks, Distress spray stains and Distress spray oxides. I love the variation in colour it gives and how unpredictable the results are.
I have finished this mixed media Autumn card with a sentiment from one of my favourite stamp designers Alison Bomber.
Love your autumn wreath Helen - it's so pretty
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, I forgot how much I love getting absorbed into die cutting. It's certainly a distraction. 💗
