Mixed media for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a pair of mixed media cards I made using products from Paper Rose Studio.

I created a single mixed media panel and cut it down to create two cards. I started by ink blending some distress inks onto a panel of Strathmore Bristol cardstock. I then stamped onto it with the Beautiful Mandala stamp and the Text Background stamp. I then added some ink through the Small Drops stencil, glitter paste through the Flowy Leaves stencil, and pearl texture paste through the Leafy Circle Lattice stencil. I cut the panel to fit my card with a little white border around the edge, added a white die cut (Feather trio dies on one card and the Lyla Butterfly die on the other) and a printed sentiment from Black and White Sentiments.

Online Card Class Stenciled 2: Day 3

Day three of the current Online Card Class was about layering stencils, and was taught by Kristina Werner and Mindy Eggen. 

I discovered that every tub of coloured glitter paste in my collection has dried up (and I mean totally), so I coloured my clear glitter paste with alcohol inks for this card.

Case me a Christmas Card with Kasia Leach

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2021 - a Christmas Card blog series! 

From October to December, I will link to a series of guest cardmakers on my blog. I will CASE one of their cards, and they will CASE one of mine! CASE stands for either Copy And Share Everything, or Copy And Selectively Edit. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends, but making a new card that is our own. And, of course, the card we each make has to be a Christmas card!

Background

In November 2016, I started this a little series on my blog. It started with me wanting to challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone with my Christmas cardmaking, so I asked friends to challenge me to do something different. 2016 challenges included using embroidery thread on a card, making a food themed card, making a geeky Christmas card (it had the Tardis on it) and making a dinosaur themed card. 

In 2017, I asked some of my cardmaking friends to join me with these challenges. Then, in 2020, I changed things up a bit by asking each of my guests to CASE one of my cards and I would CASE one of theirs. Ardyth Percy Robb made a video in 2020 (linked here) of a 5 step process that I use all the time when I am making a CASE of anybody's card, so I encourage you to check out her video!
