Hello friends,
yes, I know, this is not my usual but I sometimes like to do altered art or mixed media too. It's fun to get my hands crusted with paint and glaze. Stick stuff here and there...just mess with junk!
I decided not to include paper so I stamped directly onto the board but I did use a stamp aligner to make sure I didn't ruin the whole thing by stamping crooked. The bumps are drizzles of hot glue and then I gessoed and added coarse glitter while wet. I then glazed with white and turquoise. Let it dry and added copper. I then added some pattern with mash and die cut chicken wire and a sponge brush with more glaze. The roses are pre-made by Prima and the leaf die is from Spellbinders.
Thanks for looking!

Oh wow! This is close to what I had envisioned when I saw the challenge! Thanks for your description of the process! There are just so many gorgeous details here, but I do want to make mention of the copper and the colours. Amazing!

Robin, this card is just wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the color!! And you know what the drizzles of hot glue look like to me? It looks like an angel with a trumpet (she smiles). Did you see that when you titled this card? This is a beautiful mixed media card. Into my favs!

Definitely glad you jumped into Mixed Media with this in mind. It looks wall ready and I'm living the hot glue result. Thanks for playing in on the challenge.
