A Mixed Media Card

 It’s Tuesday, December 5, 2023 and its cold and damp outside. Some rain still falling off and on and always a possibility of snow showers as well….so far none of those! I’m trying to remember to post a little more often. I just get so darn busy during the day that at night I totally forget.

 So, I’ve been making Christmas cards but can’t post them yet but I’ve made some other cards as well….I need a change every so often. I seldom make the same type of cards. Some card makers just make quick and simple, or multi-layered, or mixed media, etc. But I like to mix it up. Sometimes it depends on my mood, sometimes on who I’m making the card for. For this card, I decided to do a bit of mixed media as inspired by Vicky Papaioannou. If you are not familiar with her, please check out her YouTube Videos. They are awesome. So, here’s my card.

 

I’ve been having fun playing with the boots die cuts but decided make a bit of a mixed media card. The background was stamped on blue paper. I was gifted a slew of background stamps so I’m trying to remember to use them. The edges of everything was inked with Distress Walnut stain. The background elements came from a pack I picked up at Len Mills - an Ontario discount store. The boots had to sit on something or it would look like they were floating so I added a strip of blue cardstock along the bottom. I love those flower dies so I had to have them coming out of the boots. The sentiment came from the same pack from Len Mills. Not sure who will receive this one but I sure had fun making it.

 That’s all for now.

Cheers
