MIX1 Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: grammatroll

I finally got around to making a card for the first Mixability Challenge. For this challenge we were supposed to use on matte medium and one shiny medium. For my matte, I found a piece of dp in my scraps and painted yellow acrylic paint on it. After the paint dried, I stamped the image in versamark and heat embossed with black ep for the shiny medium. I cut the image with the Nestabilities Labels 26 and matted it on old olive using another one of the Labels 26 dies. I had just enough of the dp to put on the front of the card. The sentiment is also embossed with black ep. I added a couple flowers I found in my stash.

Sorry for the bad scan. Couldn't find the camera.

I think this looks really terrific with your painted dp...what a fantastic idea! Your image is so pretty, too. Great take on the challenge!

I really like the look of the paint wash on the printed paper layer that is very cool :) So that butterfly really POP's on it.

I think it turned out great. Your paint over your patterned paper is a lovely effect - I like that you can still see the pattern of the paper beneath. The position of your butterfly draws your attention down to those pretty flowers and then right over to the sentiment. It's a great design! Good for you for stretching yourself and trying something new!!!

This is really cool Debbie! I love the use of the same patterned paper for the background as for the focal panel. Love the butterfly image too.

I love the effect you created with the acrylic over the printed paper. I love the embossed butterfly on it, too. You are brave trying these mixed techniques challenges. Fantastic job on the challenge.
