Mixed media is not my strong point! But I like playing around with it. This card is definitely not my usual style!
The Mixed Media Challenge blog is "A Touch of Nature" - my pine trees. And the Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge is to use non-traditional colours, which is definitely how I feel about chartreuse and teal!
I started by stamping the text stamp in Antique Linen, sponged over it in Antique Linen and Crushed Olive, then spritzed with the two different colours of Heidi Swapp spray. When dry, I stamped the trees over it in Crushed Olive and the sentiment in Peacock Feathers and heat embossed them.
The panel is bordered with a bronze shimmer cs and popped up on dimensionals.
It's also for my July quota for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge.

I love it! I think mixed media is so much fun! You mentioned that there wasn't really anything on your card inspired by the 4th but the splatters remind me of bursting fireworks! Awesome card and I am so happy for you that you have gotten your July cards done!

What a great challenge card! The colors are terrific. I would never have thought of that. Don't you love Heidi Swapp's line of sprays. I worked with her at the Pinner's Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah last October. What a great lady.
