Inspired By Challenge #116 - Hello Spring

3/24/2020

Woop woop!!!!  You don't win unless you play!!!

Here in Florida, spring isn't as noticeable as in New York State.  In fact, it's actually 10 degrees hotter than normal in Florida right now, which feels like summer without the humidity!  Spring in New York is a dramatic happening and a big deal to see the early flowers popping up as the snow melts.

I have the perfect new stamp set for this challenge and enjoyed creating this happy little card.  To get a good impression on the watercolor paper, the images were stamped using a stamp positioner.  The fun was choosing bright and springy water color for the flowers.  The grass and sky areas were washed in last.  Once dry, a stitched framed added a finished edge.  Diecut letters were added using a T-Square ruler to complete the card.

CAS Mix It Up Card Challenge March 2020

3/22/2020

When I saw the challenge to use acrylic paint, I immediately thought mixed media!  I can't tell you how exciting it has been to create acrylic paint in card making today!  I want to show you the steps I took today to create an 8-1/2 x 11 paper that was eventually cut up into A2 sizes.

The first photo is a prepped sheet of cardstock that I Gessoed first.  I used the light to dark painting with no particular plan.  It sure doesn't look like much at this point.  I used Dylusions acrylic paints by Ranger for this entire project.
Picture
The above photo was then painted over with a wash of white paint.  From there several layers of stencils and stamps were added.  I cut the piece into 4 quadrants of 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.
Picture
I ended up with 7 cards out of this 8-1/2 x 11 inch cardstock.  However, for the CAS Challenge, this is my design.  Turned out the scraps worked as elements of this card.
Picture
I can't be happier about this challenge that inspired me to spend a good amount of my day playing.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Patterned Polka Dota (The Sstamp Market)
Paper:  Hammermill
​Accessories:  Dylusions Acrylic Paint (Ranger)


Thanks for stopping by!
