This is my card for the Friday Mix-Ability challenge #22. Lydia challenged me on FaceBook so I was committed. And I had fun trying this one out. So thank you Ms Lydia for the push.
The technique involves using a plastic credit card as a paint scraping tool which allows you to scrape various colors of acrylic paint across your card stock to create unique color blends and textures.
I used acrylic distressed paints in picked raspberry, peeled paint and wild honey on watercolor paper.
I then used the SU "weathered" bg stamp and inked it with picked raspberry. I stamped on the left side of the paper. I used some dylusions spray ink on the same stamp and stamped in the bottom right corner.
I used a Dylusions stencil and sponged in some flowers with picked raspberry.
My image and sentiment are from Great Impressions Stamps - "vintage big wheel E683" and "all about the journery -D406". THese both are stamped in choc chip ink. I added some rhinestones to the wheel centers to complete my card.
Fabulous colorful layers! The addition of the stencils creates a batik-like feel. Awesome card! Hope your challenge with Lydia includes continuing with the MIX challenges. TFS!

This turned out very neat Mary!!! I love this challenge. That doesn't mean I am good at it, or that it is in my comfort zone, but it sure does bring some very cool results. We can surprise even ourselves. I like the colors you used and I love the rhinestones that you used. I'm glad that you did the challenge. :>)
