Welcome to day three of the hop!  Today I wanted to share a little mixed media card that I made for Mother's Day. This card could easily be used for any occasion by changing out the sentiment.  
 
 
 
 
 
I used scraps from the Never Grow Up Sleep Over paper, Mad Tea Party Wonderland paper, Filigree Doily, Tea Party Stamps, Texture Stamps, and Garden Rose Stamps from Marion Smith S

 
 
 
Petaloo's Velvet Hydrangeas Fuchsia flowers are the star of this card.
 
 
 I really wanted to showcase some of the Marion's amazing stamps on my card.  So I painted the Sleepover paper with white gesso to tone down the paper pattern. I then used Archival Coffee Ink to stamp my images.   I even stamped over the wooden filigree and the flowers, to give them texture. 


 
This is one of my home made wooden embellishments that I made with the Tea Party stamps and a  balsa wood piece.  I did a tutorial a few months back.  You can view it here.
 
 


I added some flat back pearls to the center of the flowers, and painted them with my RV09 Copic Marker to match the flowers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A little Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine finished this card off with the Midas touch!   I know my Mother is going to love this card.
 
Don't forget to check out my projects from Days 1 & 2 as well.

  1. Great card. I'm always a little shy about trying the mixed media thing for fear I will mess it up. I guess I just need to dive in and give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Don't be scared! Get your fingers inky and messy they will be so happy! The beauty of mixed media is there is no wrong way to do any of it. It is about layers and texture! You can do it!
