We were a little short on inspiration this month for our Facebook Challenge at SheepSki Designs. So I decide to knock up a quick messy card using a new image called Flowering Cherry.
You can find the image here in my Etsy shop and get 10% off on this and all my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.
The image was coloured in pastel peaches and greens with Copics. I've not gone for the full detail, but just added a little texture to the flowers. Once I'd done this I fussy cut the image our.
Inspired by my friend Shylaa who used to be on my DT I decided to do a mixed media style card.
On a blank piece of card I used a Tim Holtzz stencil and modelling paste. I heat dried this, splashed some DecoArt acrylic shimmer paint on. Drying this again with a heat gun i sprinkled some embossing enamel on top and heated again. All about the heating this card LOL!!
When it was all dry I distressed the edges, added the image and a Make It Crafty chippy sentiment coloured with Black Copic. The sequins once I'd glued them on I also heated. I was trying to dry the card so I could take a photo. During the process the sequins melted slightly and the surface changed to matt - I really loved them and think I'll try this on purpose again!
Anyway - here a bit of messy quick inspiration in a mixed media style ;)
