This week it is mixed media, sounds like fun.
I am quite new to mixed media but have purchased some acrylic paints and stencils to play with, so they might do as a starter.
I used Paperartsy Fresco paint, coloured the background then stamped over the holly leaves in green archival ink, using a stencil I added the lilac paint shapes and overstamping with white paint the script. I made tags to match and added diecut Christmas Stockings. Stamped the sentiment, Merry Chritmas edged this with distress inks and attached to my card which I mounted on a contrasting mount. This is a bright colour combo, my first background started out much darker, so I started again for the above card with a lighter colour pallette.
Thank you for visiting and reading about my card design.

Oh this is super! I do like the colours you've used used and the way you've built up the background - lovely take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!

ReplyDeleteI like the nontraditional color scheme you've used here. You have an interesting mix of vintage looks (the stockings and sentiment) and a more modern flair (the lilac stenciling). Thanks for joining us at 52CCT.
