22nd August, 2019. A Steam Punk Style card.

Hi, I was looking on Pinterest at all the mixed media work which I do love to dabble with, not very successful I must admit. I saw some Steam Punk stuff....wooooow!   love this , so had to give it a try. I already had a load of metallic pastes and gilding wax, all that was needed was some steam punk style embossing folders. Love Tim Holtz products, he does some great stuff, one ordered, delivered and here is my first Steam Punk style work.

I already had the stamp from forever ago which I though she went pretty well . The cogs border die again had forever and hardly used. I used black card stock, embossed part with a Tim Holtz one and then got to work with my metallic pastes and gilding wax...so loved doing it !

I used at least three different shades to get the result I wanted. I also added a touch of gold on the die cut foliage.

The flowers were made from some left over Tim Holtz card stock, grunged up and a touch of gold and brown on the petals.

Hope you like it.....have a lovely weekend xx

13th August, 2019, A Shabby Chic , Mixed Media Card.

Good evening, Hope that you are all having a lovely Summer break. We are just starting to get the chill in the mornings, that's if you are an early riser.  I have been feeling sorry for myself as I had a fall, not so much the fall but feeling pretty silly as I was not able to get up !  However the sprain came out during the evening..., and it hurt , so meds, cold bandage and will be back to normal within a few days.  Besides I won a fashion shopping voucher and I have got to spend it !

I have not done a proper mixed media style card for ages and thought here goes...so hope you like it.

The cardstock used is from Madja Design, Gesso'd,  stamped on with script stamps, paste stencilled  besides lace and a large hand made flower using different organza material from my stash.  The lady is from my stash and I think it is Pion Design, another one of my favourite companies.

A closer peep at the ' flower ' I cut circles and used my heat gun to melt the fabric, layered and glued and a pretty gem in the centre.

I have done the inside of the card to complement the front.

Thank you for taking a peep at my work, enjoy the evening, bye xx
