I've applied EC texture paste along with EC diamond stencil to create background. Then colored it using EC Curcumin Yellow chalk paint and Persimmon sprinkle mist.

Added EC Black Gesso on leaves and chipboards. Applied EC Holiday Gold metallic paint on them and on sme dew drops too.

I've mixed some EC Deco Stones in EC Gel Medium- Gloss and applied them to create some more texture.

Cherish Love - glitter card - inspiration

Hi there!

Today I have soft and very femine card with glitter balerina with gold watercolor accents.

One day a ballerina dancing met a man who enchanted her.

He came to a dance performance, and she decided to impress him and choose the most beautiful dress specially for him. Only then did he notice her in the crowd of other ballerinas.

After the rehearsal he noticed that she dislocated the ankle and offered her his help.

This work tells the story that there is really little need to find love. All you need to do is only give give a chance and help your happiness.

It's a short story about cherish love and dreams about dance.

I've created some Immix products: texture pasta, heavy gesso and beautiful magic sparks glitter.

Baby blue pasta mixed with Immix's texture paste it's not accidental here. I really love this sky color!

 Enjoy!

Mixed Media Cards

Hello crafty people,

This is Jaishree this side. Today, I am here at expressions craft blog with a picture tutorial on how to create these two beautiful mixed media cards with the amazing Immix products.

The Immix products are so amazing that even if you are a beginner you'll be able to create these cards in no time. So, without further adieu lets get started!

I created these two cards measuring 6x6 inches. Then I cut two pieces of paper in the size 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches in order to create the layer to work on. I distressed all the edges of both the papers.

Next to add texture to my background I mixed Immix texture paste with some sprinkle glitz to make my paste grainy. 

I used two different stencils from expressions craft for both the cards. Using the above made texture paste, I created lovely backgrounds with the stencils. 

Using the beautiful sprinkle mist spray paints I added two colors of paints on each cards background. on one card I used yellow and red tones while on the other I used pink and blue tone. Also, I added a tint of titanium white where ever I thought the color was too dark. 

Next to start layering my cards I added a few pieces of corrugated sheet and gave it a coat of heavy gesso white from Immix. This gesso has a creamy consistency which is very easy to spread and also gives great coverage within the first coat. 

Next I used magic sparks from Immix to add a little sparkle and glitter to my chippies. I used leafy wreath chippies from expressions craft. I covered the complete chippie with glossy accent first and then sprinkled the magic sparks onto it. I used both circular and the heart shaped chippie from the pack for each of the card.

I also added glitter to my flowers using fairy dust. I used green fairy dust for yellow flowers and blue fairy dust for my aqueduct colored flowers. 

To assemble everything together, I started with chippies, filled in some cheesecloth (colored it in the same colors as each cards background), topped it up with sentiments and butterflies. 

In card one I used shabby crinkled flower in the color lemon twist along with mixed boutique 2 filler flowers both from expressions craft. In card two, I used shabby crinkled flower in the color aqueduct. 

I finished my cards by adding some Deco art stones medium and mini and some splatters of white titanium sprinkle mist. Here's the finished look of the cards.

Lets's take a closer look at the cards!

Hope you all liked my cards and are inspired to create some yourselves too. Do share your cards with us at the expressions craft club and participate in the monthly challenge.
