Mixed Media

Morning my crafting friends, hope today finds you all safe and well, lots of hugs to those who are not.

Now todays post is a bit of mixed media hence the title lol! Nothing was planned I just went with it and tried adding different things to see whether they worked or looked right, overall I am pleased with the end result.


I started with a piece of Kraft card and using a stencil I pasted over part of the stencil in the middle with modelling paste.

Once this was dry I used another stencil called 'textured scraped paint' to brush through some distress inks I then ran it through the embossing folder Harlequin. Using distress inks Weathered Wood, Iced Spruce and Forest Moss I inked around the card but not over the paste part. I rubbed some Cast Bronze gilding wax over the embossed part of the card and buffed this up to a shine.
I wanted to add a stamp to the background and I found this lovely swirl like  grasses so I stamped this up the top left corner with archival ink.

I die cut Medallion Eight out of Rich Green card and used it as a pocket in the bottom right corner after I had threaded some twine through it. 

In my stash I had these parcel tags so decided to us this as the sentiment to go into the pocket. I inked the tag up with Vintage Photo then stamped my sentiment on top.

Using a little more of the Rich Green card I stamped the clock face and hands then die cut out with a circle die, I inked round the edge of this with Vintage Photo.

On some White card I inked up a section with distress inks until I got the desired colour then die cut the frameworks out, this gave a nice two tone look to the frame work. I stuck half of this down across the middle of the card then placed the stamped clock behind it as seen.

In my stash I had two Victorian Metal corners left so I heat embossed these with some Shabby Green embossing enamel and glued these in the opposite corners, by which time I wished I had left them in their original bronze metal state as they stood out far too much.

I cut some Pearlescent Chocolate brown card and embossed it, again using the harlequin embossing folder, I had to extend the pattern once. I had hope to be able to emboss the pattern 'portrait' way like the top card but the piece of card I had was too big for this so I embossed it 'landscape'. I then proceeded to distress around the edges using the edge of some scissors. Once this was done I wrapped around the card some White cord and attached it to my base card, for this I had folded in half an A4 sheet of 'Leather look' cream card. 

This just left the top piece to be attached to the Chocolate coloured card, the White cords matched up with the two metal corners so now they did not stand out as much and it all blended in together. I attached a small key in the bottom left and placed a piece of the Chocolate card inside, this finished off the card.
