mixed media card

hello crafty friends!

today my post is all about stamping and using different media! 

MIXED MEDIA CARD - 


i made this card for a very special friend, who recently proved that he is not afraid of falling!

and here is how i did it:

step 1: stamp the background of your card with the stamp of your choice {i used HC tattered background set} with blue ink. 


step 2: after the first layer is dry, stamp the image you would like to use with brown ink directly on the background and on a separate paper {to colour it and create a 3d effect on your card}.

step 3: i coloured my image with FABER-CASTELL design memory craft GELATOS - i'm really addicted to this cute little pastels.


step 4: while waiting for the coloured image to dry, begin altering your background with some more stamping. i used embossing powder on some of the gear wheels to add extra dimension to my card. 


step 5: cut out all the layers you need and begin assembling your card. for the yellowish label i used SPELLBINDERS golden labels four die. i coloured the edges with GELATOS and distressed them with brown ink.


i added pearls and die cut gears {SPELLBINDERS "sprightly sprockets" die} to finish off my design.

here are some close ups of the finished card:



i tucked the negative die cut under my sentiment and adhered the gear wheel on top of it.


i hope you enjoyed today's post!

hugs 'n smiles,

HEARTFELT CREATIONS alumni designers JUNE blog hop

hello HEARTFELT CREATIONS friends! 

and WELCOME to the HEARTFELT CREATIONS alumni designers JUNE blog hop! 

here is a little bit of inspiration from me:



here is a list of some of the products i used on this project:


and here is a short tutorial on how i did it:

step 1: using the corner from HC rye grass flourish set  stamp on the blue base {10 x15 cm} for your card.


step 2: get a 10 x 15 cm piece of cardstock and begin altering it with different stamps. i used the harlequin background from HC tattered background set with blue ink and the crackled background {HC broken cinder blocks set} and the script {HC vintage life background set} with brown ink.


step 3: stamp the images you would like to use with brown ink and color them with FABER-CASTELL design memory craft GELATOS. for the bird i used 5 different colors: butterscotch, red cherry, tangerine, gold and snow cone for the eyes.

for the branch i used two shades of green: lime and spearmint.


step 4: give some extra colour to your background using the gold and blue GELATO. die cut the gears using a die cutting machine, SPELLBINDERS "sprightly sprockets" die and brown and white cardstock. begin arranging your elements on the card. i cut the large gear in two to fit better my design. 




to finish off my card i added blue pearls and brads.

i hope you enjoyed my creation today!
