I can't believe how fast this week is going! It is already Thursday and my vacation is going way to fast! Yesterday I shared a Mixed Media project with you and today's card is considered a Mixed Media project also. See the background? Bet you thought that was a watercolor wash! Well, you are 1/2 right, and 1/2 not so right.
This background is considered Mixed media and is done using Fun Stampers Journey Color Splashes and our Color Splash sheets. Your start by wetting your Color Splash Sheet with a Media Mister filled with water. Go ahead and get it nice and wet. Then you are going to spray it with Citrus Cooler Color Spash ( make sure you have your paper in a spray box so you don't get overspray on other things). You can pick the paper up and move the color around if you have sprayed enough water on your sheet. Next you will spray the paper again with Sweet Berry Color Splash. You may want to mist your paper again with the water to move the color more. After you get the look you like, you can dry it with your Heat Gun.
I finished the background paper by splattering it with Bubble Gum Silk and Citrus Cooler Silk. Don't you just love that Bloom Cluster Die cut from Bubble Gum CS in the background, kind of a subtle touch that adds so much. While I was at my Platinum machine, I also cut a Sweet Text Bubble die out of Beach Ball CS.
I stamped 2 of the fish from the Artful Fins Stamp set and colored them with Color Burst Pencils, covered them in Journey Glaze and a sprinkle of Clear Confetti Sparkle Elements. The finishing touch is the Whip Cream Sparkle Tape in the bottom left corner.
Don't forget that if you are ordering the Artful Fins set from me this week, you will receive a card kit to create Monday's card! Also, if you add your order to Party #12660, you will be entered in the Mystery Party Hostess drawing to win the Hostess benefits for this weeks party!
Stay Creative!
Cindy
