Mixed Media Card by Preeti D.

Hi friends :)

Hope you are doing well.

Preeti Datta (Dutt Preety) here from the VLVS! Design Team.

For today's post, I've created a Mixed Media Card.

I've used some gorgeous VLVS! Rubber Stamps here.

First, I cut a panel of 300 gsm watercolour paper to create the card base. To colour it, I used Lindy's Gang Squirts and Sprays in shades of purple and pink. Dried the panel & stamped around it's edges using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and VLVS! Stamps- Overlapping Circles by Corrie Herriman, Row of Scribble Squares and A Drawing Is. Then, deckled and distressed the edges of the panel.

Stamped and heat embossed a few small panels using VLVS! Map Background Stamp in black and then coloured the panels with Lindy's Gang Squirt in teal colour. Then deckled & distressed the edges of these small panels with black ink.

For the focal element, stamped & heat embossed in black the beautiful VLVS! Dancing Lady Stamp and fussy cut it.

For the sentiment, stamped the VLVS! Be An Adventurer stamp in black onto a watercolour paper panel and distressed it's edges in black

Next, die cut a starry design die using white cardstock and cut paper mats for the card. In the end, gathered all the elements, created a visually pleasing composition and adhered everything using a strong glue. Used 3D foam tape under some of the layers to create dimension. Created white ink splatter to integrate all the elements. Finally, adhered all the layers to a 5 by 7 inch white card base.
