Texas Craft Connection

 I had so much fun designing and creating this mixed media birthday card. I love designs that involve colors and textures, so I was completely in my happy zone with this one. I used die cuts for the lettering. The background is ink blended using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I stenciled over the top portion of the back to achieve the small dots. The bottom portion is stamped using a water droplet stamp. I then finished off the bottom edge with a strip of washi tape. The butterfly and dragonfly are die cut pop up stickers. Drop me a comment and let me know what elements you like to combine for mixed media cards! Happy Cardmaking! ~ Pamela

 Happy World Card Making Day! We are celebrating with Craft Roulette friends on YouTube and participating in the challenge over there. Episode #235 Parameters for the challenge are: Project - Cannot be a single fold A2 Card Colors - Mood Board Element - World Random - Star This one took a little bit of brainstorming (which I love), but here is my contribution! I made a 6 x 6 card with a top fold. I chose pink, black and silver for my "mood" colors. I die cut stars from silver glitter paper and heat embossed "Hope your birthday is out of this world" in silver. How are you celebrating World Card Making Day? Leave me a comment and let me know! :) ~ Pamela

Craft Roulette Card Making Challenge - Episode #234 Parameters   Project - 6 x 6 card Colors - Rainbow (any or all) Element - Single Flower Random - Cloth I love mixed media, so I really enjoyed putting this card together. I used torn Toile tissue paper (you can find it HERE in my Etsy Shop ) to partially cover the background. The dress is die cut from patterned scrapbook paper, pulling in colors of red, green and yellow from the rainbow. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to vintage up the edges of the dress. The background of the card is subtly stamped with Speckled Egg using a chicken wire stamp. The sentiments are stamped as well using Black Soot Distress Ink.
