Recently, I've delved more into the mixed media side of cardmaking. I just received some happy mail from Simon Says stamp, so it's the perfect opportunity to do more delving.
I started out by inking up my flower and adding texture to the surrounding area as well as the flower itself. I used several different inks on this card from Simon Says Stamp, Goldenlocks, Lavender, Schoolhouse Red and Soft Navy. For the red, I literally scraped it across my watercolor paper in places and used my blending tool for the other colors. This is my first time using SSS ink and I must say, the color is so rich and deep. I'm a fan already!
I also incorporated some other mediums, glittered mesh, burlap string, glitter paste and Pearlescent, applied with a metal paint scraper. The cardstock is from the We R Memory Keepers Shine pad and was trimmed/scored to 5.75". The little die piece is also WRMK and is from the Inked Rose pad. I stamped the SSS sentiment, "Hi Lovely", onto it and popped it out with foam squares.
I'll be entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.
