This card is a little outside of the box for me. I love to make a lot of dimensional cards. I like lots of embellishments, super thick, need lots of postage kinda cards. This card isn't that kind. It has only two layers. I used the most over looked mixed media tool (in my opinion) my scanner and printer. I took an encyclopedia page. I cut two pieces of sheet music. I taped them to the sides. I stamped to butterflies and taped them down too. Then I scanned it and printed it onto a piece of white cardstock. I then masked the butterflies and ink spray smashed the panel. Then I stamped flowers. I mixed white paint with markers to add some color to the white paint and painted over the flowers. I added green colored pencils to the stems. I then stamped two flourishes and added green colored pencil to them. I stamped the two words from two different stamp sets. I didn't care that the font didn't match. I used a ruler and permanent marker to make a "frame" for the page. I used deckle scissors to cut that frame. I went over the edges with a white colored pencil. Then I took white paint and a toothbrush and splattered white paint all over the page.

Wow! MariLynn, this is so gorgeous. What a great job you did with the mix-ability challenge. I've enjoying just staring at it. Great job on putting it together.
