And today, I would like to share a mixed media card with you

I am inspired by the Theme and Sketch from STAMPlorations January Challenge:

First, I created the background using the Peony Number One – ARTplorations Stencil with the Color Burst Caribbean set and Perfect Pearl spray mix. I totally enjoy the fun time playing with these color powder and pearl spray mix. You can see that pearly shine on the card I also did some splatters on the panel and dabbed it off with paper towel for extra texture on it.

Once the panel dried really well, I put back the Peony stencil and trace it using Faber-Castel PITT Pen.

Then I stamped randomly the bubble wrap and text from the Mixed Media Grunge stamp set on the panel with Ranger Archival Ink pad. I set aside the panel for the ink to dry while I was working on the card and sentiment.

I stamped the sentiment from Smile – Dee’s Artsy Impressions stamp set on a piece of white cardstock with the archival ink, cut it out and added some shading with the Faber-Castell grey brush pen.

I added the 1/4″ Scor-Pal tape on the side of the black card base and added some Thermo-Web Gold Foil on it to create the gold strip.

I added some White Gelatos on around the edge of the panel to give extra shading, too. Then I added it on the card with lots of adhesive I added the sentiment panel on the card with 3D foam adhesive and finished my mixed media card with some pearl gems.
