Mixed media "Peace" card

Hello Crafty Friends!

Just wanted to pop in and share a quick post for a card recently completed.  Will be leaving soon to attend an all day crop (9am-9pm!) with my friends.  The crop is a fundraiser for a local food bank and I have been looking forward to the crop for a couple of months now.  For over two months, at every grocery store visit I picked up nonperishable items on sale.  Am so happy to say that the shopping has resulted in four boxes filled with food!  It feels so good to do something to help others.

Today I am sharing another holiday card.  The card used the Peace die from the Love Joy Peace ornament die set:

The die was used to cut blue and white card stock.  

The background was created using several Dylusions Sprays.  After drying, a pine cone stencil was used with Archival Ink.  The ink dried and Creative Medium in Green was applied to create the needles.  White acrylic paint was splattered.  After 24 hours, it was die cut using Spellbinders Labels One die set.

 

 A tent fold card was created using Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One and white card stock.  A sheer white bow was glued in place and a wee snowflake was added.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day.  :)

"happy" Altered playing card

Hello Crafters!

Has the Mixed Media Bug bitten you?  It has bitten me and I am loving it!  The New Year's Resolution to alter a full deck of playing cards has been a fun project so far.  How great it is to play with new mediums and learn new techniques.  Today's altered card used one of my favorite mediums from Imagine Crafts: Creative Medium.  The card used Iridescent Chartreuse and Metallic Copper.

The playing card had black Gesso applied.  After drying, the Sunflower template (by TCW) was used with Metallic Copper (in the center).

The petals were created using Distress Ink in Fossilized Amber and Texture Paste.  The leaves used Iridescent Chartreuse and a drop of Peeled Paint Reinker.  Yellow acrylic paint and Tim Holtz' honeycomb stamp was applied to corners.

Elizabeth Craft Designs' die "happy" was die cut in white and applied as shown.

Yellow acrylic was applied to the edges and the altered card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the altered card.  And don't forget to leave a comment on the prior post for your chance to win the "Dream" die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo
