| Blazing Poppies |
Main Image:
- Stamped the image 3 times with Golden Glitz on white CS. If I had to do it again I think two would have been with a dark brown ink. Painted with all 3 with twinks for the areas I wanted. Trimmed around the first one as shown, shabbied and sponged the edges. The first one is the base. Cut out the other images, mounted with 3D pop dots. embossed from the back and mounted on image.
- After mounting on the Card Front the flower centers were embellished with Viva Decor Pen Bronze, Yellow Quartz, and Peridot glitter liners.
- Stamped French Script on natural CS with Memento Desert Sand. Cut a 5.75"X4.0", ruffed and sponged the edges with Desert Sand, mounted on white CS, used Perfect layers for 1/8" around edge, paper pierced the edge, and mounted the image on it.
- Used Hexagon stencil for the edges with pencil, painted with gold acrylic ink and used Lime glitter pen for dots.
- Used MFT Distressed Circles and Brilliance Pearlescent Beige ink as shown. Used Flourishes So Distressed small splats with Creative Medium Shimmer on top of the Distressed Circles Areas. (Believe me when I say the splats look like mixed shimmer medium and to me the whole card looks a little distressed!!! LOL
- Used the same products for the inside except I didn't use pop dots, the left side is smaller image than the front, the right side is natural text paper instead of CS. I noticed when I did the paper piercing on the front (after mounting to the card fold) it showed on the inside too. I kind of like it!
- The corner on the envy uses natural text paper and the image is hand drawn.

Your work is always beautiful & this card is no exception, Shirley! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Shirley! I love what you did with the background! Love the subtle script stamping and the textured dots. The orange and purple are perfect together and go wonderfully with the sponging too. It seems that you have switched from Brilliance galaxy gold to Delicata Golden Glitz...can you describe the difference between the two? Have a wonderful Friday.

Darn you stole my thunder with that stamp! Look out for my version, not as subtle or elaborate as yours... great dimension with the decoupage flowers.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS, Shirley! Love the poppies and the hexagons! The inside is FABULOUS, too! LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteI love this soft stamped and stenciled background and the dimension you've created with the flowers!

Another beautiful floral image, indigo love all the detail in this one.
ReplyDeleteThe color scheme on this is gorgeous Shirley! I love hexagons too, there is something so graphically pleasing about them. And of course, they always remind me of honey bees and who doesn't love honey bees? Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Curt
ReplyDeleteGorgeous~gorgeous!! I love using H2Os myself, and you have done a stunning job with them!!1
ReplyDeleteShirley, I've gotten behind on visits again, so hopping around today to enjoy some posts. The mixed media card is gorgeous! (Loved the newer post above too, where you didn't like the interior! Methinks you may have been too critical, based on what I see of your work :-). Love the way you did the background for these flowers, and absolutely loved the treatment on the inside as well. Hope things are going well. TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWow Shirley, this one is a showstopper!! LOVE how 3D it is. I think you're turning into a mixed media artist for sure. That stamp set by MFT is one of my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so spectacular. What fabulous work!
ReplyDeleteOMG - this is just a complete work of art Shirley. I also ADORE that image and you've done a lovely job with it.
