Hi friends! I love 2 things in life - the holiday season and mixed media cards! So today I'm combining both for a fun, holiday card! I'll be using Deck the Halls stamp set, Winter Blooms stamp set, Lots of Blossoms stencil, Liquid Splatters in Yellow Sunshine, Holly Leaf Green, and Candy Cane Red. I'll also be using Paper Glaze Luxe in Twinkle Lights!
First step was to apply color to a piece of watercolor cardstock sized 5.25.4.0. I applied the Liquid Splatters onto my glass media matt, sprayed it down with water and blended it with a paint brush, and then swiped my watercolor paper through the colors. I started with yellow, then green, and finally red. Liquid Splatters works beautifully as watercolor AND splattering on your work panel!
Once I was happy with the colors and the ink was dried, I stamped all the sentiments from Deck the Halls over the color using Black Hybrid Ink. I wasn't concerned with getting a crisp image, I just wanted to add interest to the background card panel.
Next, I applied Paper Glaze Luxe in Twinkle Lights through the Lots of Blossoms stencil to two of the corners on the card panel. Twinkle Lights is a translucent paste, so you'll get dimension but still be able to see what's behind it! Then I set the background aside to fully dry.
For my sentiment, I stamped the word Noel and the "May the Christmas Season..." from Deck the Halls stamp using the same black ink and then die cut them using the coordinating dies from the set. I also stamped the center flower from Winter Blooms, fussy cut it out, and added a light wash of color similar to the shades of the background card panel. I finished by adhering the flowers and sentiments in a cluster next to each other and then applied Glossy Accents over the floral stamins.
I truly enjoyed creating layers using stamps, stencils, watercolor, and paste! It's very easy to do and PFS provides the most amazing materials to do mixed media! Thanks for stopping by today!
