Hope you all have stamping buddy that inspires you to try new things. I have a couple and they totally stretch me.
One is Jayne - Ozpom. She loves learning and mixed media - two of my favorite things. We have been watching videos and recently challenged each other to combine two fun videos into one card. This is the result.
One video is by Maremi's Small Art - adding texture:
the other is by Gabrielle Pollaco - vintage dress
You are welcome to try it as well.
I started with a rectangle piece of an Amazon Box. Wrapped in wrinkled up tissue paper with lots of gesso and silver metal thread. Once it was dry, I wanted more texture, so I added some white gesso over a handwriting stencil.
I tried adding some colors with ink, spray and paint but was loving the pink so I spritzed on more water until mainly it is pink. Still needed something so added some frantage. Heat and this fun panel did some interesting things so I probably wont do that part again. To finish the panel, I distressed it up with some Vintage Photo distress ink
Then the dress. I had some fabric paper purchased in a loose stack of paper at Hobby Lobby years ago. When I got it wet and started folding, I realized it had sticky paper on back and it stuck together. I finally had to take the fabric off the backing for the skirt 30 minutes later... Handcut the top, added the wings, and gessoed on the tea bag (from Teresa - aztk).
Super fun project - thanks for playing with me Jayne!
P.S. Watched The Dress Maker while making this - LOL!

Wow Nancy, I love it. I keep going back to check out what you did and find more on there. I can’t believe you started with an amazon box. It’s awesome. That BG is so yummy and I’ve never heard of frantage so guess who is going shopping lol. Your dress is amazing and we both thought of underskirts lol. I love the addition of the teabag...I would never have guessed and the wings go perfect with the sentiment. I love love it.
I had so much fun and thank you for setting the challenge. I already have some videos for our next one.
Big hugs and thank you for saying I inspire you. You are my inspiration and all the other ladies on this site. I think we may have a following with these challenges lol.

I am so impressed with this and with Jayne's mixed media. What a beautiful dress for your angel. You have used so many items (even from the past) and made a striking creation. As with Jayne's, I love this! Wow to you both.
