Mixed Media Project | Graceful Angel | Sizzix Lifestyle

I love not only creating CAS cards but I also love making Mixed Media Projects. When I see the masterpieces created by Mixed Media Artists, my jaw automatically drops down and I feel that 'Man! I should make something like that!' After so many trials and errors (for years I can say) finally I realized that Mixed Media is nothing but adding/incorporating different or several or various elements to your projects in a creative way. Simple, right?

I started my project by ink smooshing the background of a heavy white white card stock in Vintage Photo and Frayed Burlap Distress inks.

I torn a piece of cardboard and applied the mixture of white glue + perfect pearls + glitter + white paint over it.

Next I die-cut Graceful Angel out of white card stock and colored the dress with Festive berries and wings with Black Soot distress ink.

I added some dimension to it's wings by adding foam tape

Then I die-cut Antique Doily out of gold glitter card stock. 

Before adhering all things together, I distressed the edges with a pair of scissors. 

Also torn the edges and curled it with my fingers. Then I added splatters of Picket Fence Distress Paint and I let the panel dry for sometime.

Once everything was dry, I adhered all the elements together along with a sentiment strip. That's it!! I love how this project turned out. Thank you so much for visiting, have fun :)

Hello everyone! Today I have two cards to share with you all. Here is the first one! I used Bloomin' Boutique Stamp Set from latest SOA Counting Blessings Collection and Midnight Ink on my card. These Stamp of Approval/ SOA boxes sell out quickly but do not worry these items will be for sale in the Catherine Pooler shop on an individual basis in a few months The shop turned one so today is the last day to earn double points on your order! Click here to check out the shop.

I started by stamping and masking the flowers in Antique Linen Distress Ink and pencil colored the images with Faber-Castell color pencils. It took me four hours to complete the whole coloring process, if possible I will make a video and share it with you :)

While coloring the images, I slightly changed the shape of the flower and I think it still looks pretty cool! I also added shading to the solid images i.e., leaves! :)

Once the coloring process was done, I added tiny droplets of black and white paint to enhance the beauty of the design.

I forgot to mention, before stamping the flowers, I die-cut a water colored panel (canson montval 300gsm) with scalloped edged die from Tags,etc.dies by Catherine Pooler Designs.

Finally I adhered the die-cut panel over the brown card stock and adhered the brown card stock over the white card base. And finished the card by stamping the beautiful sentiment from Bloomin' Boutique. 

Here comes the second one! For this I used - Everyday Mod Stamp Set, It's a Boy Ink, Midnight Ink, Fiesta Blue Ink, CP's Card Stock and Leaf Motifs stamp set (counting blessings) collection.

I started by stamping the diamond background stamp in It's a boy ink and filled the few other diamond areas with CP's midnight ink. Then I took another small panel and ink blended the portion with Fiesta Blue Ink and added tiny droplets of water for some water color look.

I stamped the leaf from Leaf Motifs in Midnight Ink, fussy cut it and adhered over the small panel. Then stamped the sentiment from Everyday Mod Stamp Set. Finally adhered the smaller panel over the main card base and finished it with a few clear sequins :) 

I hope you like these cards, thanks for visiting! :)
