Mixed Media vky

Photo Details
Poster: Vickie Y

 Tried to do a mixed media card; found out that embossing powder and oil pastels blended with baby oil don't mix too well, especially on watercolor paper!

The challenge was to use together a matte medium and a medium that shines. My matte medium was created using oil pastels blended with baby oil on watercolor paper. The butterfly was also punched from a piece that I used oil pastels on, then to make it shine I dabbed pearl white lumiere. THEN, I wanted to put something that shines on the oil pastel background...oh my, the embossing powder really got a hold of the texture in the watercolor paper and the oil wouldn't let go either! As I tried to wipe the EP away from the image, I noticed the matte background color was also going away. (the background looks pale in the picture, but IRL is a little more vibrant!) Love learning new things!

WOW- to tell you the truth I wondered how on earth you got this fabulous effect! This is SO cool! Kudos to you for not only trying something new but creating something that no one else did! I love that texture in the image!

you know whats really cool about this, even though you didnt intend it... the texture of the watercolor paper comes through and so the texture of the card as a whole is WOW ( to me )

( I hardly ever get stamps to look good on watercolor paper it irritates me to death) :)

tfs!

Very cool. Looks like boys fishing and frogging in the early morning mist. I like it!

Love the way this turned out - the texture of the paper showing through the image adds so much interest! It looks like someone's dream, if you could see it :D. Terrific card!
