Hello peeps, hope you are well.
.
A bit of a departure from my usual style today - I thought I'd have a go at a 'mixed media' card.
For the background I started off with a paper from the 'Buff' paper pad by Prima/Julie Nutting.
I went around the edges with Vintage Photo, Victorian Velvet and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks and then I dabbed some more ink through the 'Bubble' stencil by Clarity Stamp to create the dots.
Once it was dry, I stamped and embossed the floral stamp (from the 'Nature I' set by Indigo Blu) with Versamark & white embossing powder.

In the top right corner I spread some texture paste through the 'Butterfly Tree' stencil by Clarity Stamp (I'd masked off the tree part) and then sprinkled on fine white glitter. After leaving it overnight to dry I then splattered on a little bit of watered down paint around the edges of the card.
To make the trio of toppers I cut squares of paper from the 'Butterfly' paper pad by Prima/Jodie Lee and edged them with DI before matting them onto some mesh. The butterflies (Papermania) are stamped and embossed onto acetate with Versamark/white embossing powder, then cut out. I folded the wings over and put PVA glue on the 'body' part to attach them to the paper squares.
The Happy Birthday (Stamps Away) was done with brown Stazon because it's stamped over the top of glossy embossing powder.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Sweet Stampin - Emboss it
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Sparkle
Little Red Wagon - Try Something New (first time doing paint splats, also new paper pads)
