The Mixed Media Card Challenge - 17

There's a new card challenge site at The Mixed Media Card Challenge, why not pop over and take a peek.  I decided to create a card - something I don't do that often - and even though its mixed media it's still quite CAS.

The background is a Heidi Swapp stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Ink with a couple of embossed layers, one with a Stampin' Up! script stamp and the Kaisercraft Music Note stamp.  The script layer has a pearl embossing powder while the music notes has a mauve embossing powder.  I had the most fun creating the purple square as I used Faber Castell Gelatos with IZink and rubbing alcohol.  The numbers are from Heidi Swapp and they've been sprayed with two colours of Heidi's Color Shine before the Liquid Pearls were added.

Thanks for staying for the long winded description of how the card was created.

  4. Hi Sandra. The layers of stenciling and embossing on your card base give it so much interest and texture. And the colors from the gellatos are absolutely gorgeous and make for a perfect background to show off your large number die. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Mixed Media Card Challenges. Loll :)
