Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
I was stumped big time with the mixed media, but after looking online for ideas, I came to the conclusion that it was just using different things to make a card. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I had a few male birthdays, well 7, out of a total of 11 birthdays in March. I decided to do 2 similar, but, I didn't know where to start. Going through the many paper pads I have, I found bright papers, suitable for the male species. These were die cut for a landscape 5 x 7inch card.
Then my Silhouette came out to cut this layered happy birthday, in matching colours for each paper. Starting with the light blue background, then the black layer, the purple Happy was next, then the black and green for the birthday. I coloured all the additional letters cut in white card, for layering, in colours to match the papers.
The Happy letter cut out, was used as a "stencil" to add a glass bead paste layer onto the Happy letters. The birthday letters were covered in 3D glaze, after I had attached them to the birthday layer. Just one thing, t looks like the B and the R are both red, nope, the B is red, the R is orange. It must be the light.
I then stamped a sentiment and die cut it, adding it to the finished card.
my mixed media, contains
die cut, stamping, stencil, glazing
paper - Craft Sensations
Happy Birthday - My Scrap Chick

I love the bead effect, I saw it originally on a Christmas tree on Loll's blog here. Not the same brand, though, hers looks finer and more even.

I've never heard of glass bead paste but it looks super. These are really fun and remind me of 'Super Mario', I think because that's all my children are playing at the moment! x
