For all those card and tag makers out there...YES, you can also use Mixed Media techniques when making your projects!
Mixed Media Lady Bird Card
by Gerry van Gent
Gerry featured background and clear stamps, as well as 6x6 stencils!
Gerry's card is bright and happy! Let's see how she created it:
1. I created a 5"x6" card. For the background I used two different masks and two different stamps.
2. When the masked clock was dry I colored only the numbers with yellow Copic Marker.
3. I added a round journaling sticker in the middle of the design. After that I colored the dots with a Blue Copic Marker.
4. The Butterfly was first stamped (Lyric #2 clear stamp), then cut out
and, as a final touch, I added transparent Crackle Paint.
5. When the birdcage was cut out from the pattern paper the three doors
were cut so then can stay open - underneath I added yellow pattern paper
so they`ll pop up.

Mixed Media Card
by Stacey Young
Featuring art stencils, Tiny Junkyard Findings and new Lyric trim!
Stacey's sweet and feminine card is filled with texture! What are her secrets?
"I loved creating this card. It is so sparkly like you wouldn't
believe! I started out by using the mask with some modelling paste, I
then added the paper layers and wrapped some string around the top area
of the card. I added the resin piece and trim, then placed my flowers
down the vine.
I found little spots for all of my extra embellishments
and then started spraying away with my Shimmerz. If there was too much
bright colour on there from the spray I simply applied some Gesso back
over those sections to tone down the colour." ~Stacey

Beautiful creations. Brit's creations are wonderful. But with the doll tag, I do understand where the Brit was trying to go with this, but, I'm not a fan of the technique shown here with the doll stamp though. Her face and all the white with her hair and dress is just not appealing to me. I have purchased the tag pad and 3 of the dolls. I will be making these like crazy this summer, love them.
