{Spotlight Project} Shery Creates a Mixed Media Layout

Don't forget to join in on our stamp release blog hop fun
after watching Shery's short video tutorial :o)

I adore my niece, Alexa. I've got thousands of photos of her in a portable hard drive...and her photos are all that's in that hard drive ;o) And so here I am sharing a 12" by 12" mixed media layout where she's the star. (I made one a couple of weeks ago and you'll find it here.) The Adorable One will be turning 3 next month, but for this project, I printed out a photo of her that was taken when she was 5 1/2 months old.

{Spotlight Project} Shery Loves a One Layer Card

Hey there! Shery here and it's my turn to share a project. One layer cards are my favorite cards to make so naturally for my first Spotlight Project, I created one! Oh, and I also love mixed media so I busted out some modeling paste and stencils.

For this card, I used 3 different STAMPlorations stamp sets: Vignette: Artful Flutters, Subway Art Builders: Dare, and the new Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments. Here's a photo tutorial showing how I put this card together.

I stamped the boxed daisy flower in VersaMark,

sprinkled white embossing powder over it,

and heat embossed.

I masked the embossed daisy before stamping

3 different sentiments (from the SAB: Dare set) in

chrome yellow archival ink.

Next I sponged mustard seed distress ink all over...

...sponged a bit of spiced marmalade distress ink

to highlight the daisies and then stamped

the bold sentiments in Memento tuxedo black.

I stamped the butterfly all over.

I applied modeling paste through a large stencil

by The Crafter's Workshop.

Finally, I sponged mustard seed distress ink over

the modeling paste to make the stenciled image

blend in with the rest of the card.

Here's a close up of my one layer card. Pretty easy, huh?

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Next week, Cornelia, Shirley, and Monika will be back with their spotlight projects!
