Yesterday's Mix-ability challenge was called "Nesting Shapes" - to use the same shape twice but in different sizes. I used two different sized tag dies. My mixed media are bister powder and embossing paste.
Both my background and the small tag were made by sprinking mostly blue and a little bit of red bister on coated cs, then spritzing heavily and letting the colours run, then leaving it to dry on its own.
The larger tag was cut from a piece of aqua blue dp over which I stenciled a tiny script stencil with texture paste.
My friend Christine (aka calex) was in the UK recently and brought me back a lovely tin of tea - on the outside of the tin, it said "keep calm and carry on", so when I saw this stamp saying "keep calm and put the kettle on", I just had to buy it so that I could use it for a thank you card for her.
It's finished off with a scrap of ribbon and a few sequins that were exactly the right colours!
I'm also entering it in the CAS Mix Up challenge for April - "stamping + stenciling + your choice". The things I chose from the list for "your choice" are bister and die cutting. See here to join in:

Lovely card. One of my favourite sayings...Keep calm.....
Isn't it great when you already have the perfect color ribbons and sequins for this? I am sure Christine will love this. Love your script tag too.
