Challenge Title: Mixed Media Die Cut Collage
Hostess: UnderstandBlue aka Lydia
Keyword: FF20UnderstandBlue
Date: 11.02.2020

I saw a beautiful process unfold from my friend Dawn Woleslagle - the owner of WPlus9. While she is known for watercolor, her mixed media is stunning. So with her permission, her process is your first challenge. Here are the steps.

• Start with a piece of watercolor paper for the card front
• Die cut any shapes out of watercolor paper. I'm using leaves.
• Glue the shapes all over the panel.
• Using a water reactive ink - Distress Inks, Distress Oxides or Hero Hues or Atelier Inks - ink blend several colors over the whole card panel.
• Splatter with water and another medium - gold or white ink or paint or glazes
• Finish your card.

I can't wait to see what you do!

I was a tad concerned that the fine lined die I'd chosen might not stay glued down as I applied the watery bg but hurray everything Stuck tight!

Lydia- a terrific challenge, thanks for the instructions to get our cards started! I went with a green, turquoise and gold color scheme- using a flower themed punch for my background. Did a direct to paper technique next, and added versamark clear ink randomly with pear green embossing powder. Layered some icy blue stickles around the card for a bit of glitter. I fussy cut some stamped leaves shapes, did some enhancing with my markers and a blender pen. Finished with a simple yarn tie and a hand lettered sentiment. Here's Fall Leaves

So, I ended up smooshing mine trying to weld the layers and glues back together and it got a little flat looking but I really enjoyed this and will probably do it again. Thanks Lydia.

[IndigosMom]

I had a lot of fun with this! Probably spent "too much" time on the intricate snowflake dies and all of the splatter, but so enjoyable. Thanks for looking!
