MSC Count Your Life

Hello!

I am so eager to make some new cards for challengers.  Unfortunately though I

am struggling to get things straight.  This is due to still not having full control

and movement of my left hand - but it is improving!

This card is not my usual style but I wanted to use a new stencil I bought at

the beginning of the year and thought the Ombre challenge at Mod Squad fitted it well.  Well

I hope I got the Ombre part right!

Here is my card.

I used Texture paste.

Colors used: Tim Holtz re inkers:

Fossilised Amber ,Abandoned Coral & fired Brick.

The Dis is from: Inspired By Stamping

The Sentiment is GinaK: Birthday Greetings.

I have entered this card into

http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com.au/

http://fusioncardchallenge.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/fusion-our-2nd-year-celebration-with.html

For Fusion card challenge I used the sketch only as I didn't have the right color reinker  to make

the pink color.

With Love - Cardabilities #123

Hello!

I am trying to expand on my style of card making and I hope with some success!

I have done very little mixed media but prepared to give it a go!  I just love all the 

texture you get from mixed media but want to keep it to cards and not canvasses or scrapbooking 

so I hope I can achieve that.

This card I have made from a sketch at

http://cardabilities.blogspot.com.

It is Sketch #123

What I have used:

G45 Botanical Tea

White Gesso

Embossing Paste

Stencils - Memory Box Scraped Paint; Stars cut on Silhouette

Spray mists I made with Tim Holtz re-inkers (Broken China; Abandoned Coral) and added

some Perfect Pearls to give a shine.

Sentiment; GKD A Year of Flowers

Twine

The flowers have been fussy cut, decoupaged and painted with Glossy Accents.

The pink card has been painted with Gesso and Music script (Kaiser Craft) stamped

with Staz On black ink.

Thanks for looking and Happy crafting!
