Mixed Media Birthday Cards

 I wanted to share how I created a mixed media card using 

Rebecca Baer and DecoArt Stencils, Stamping and embellishments.

Using Gelli Plate is one of my favorite ways to make my own deisgns. I laid the part of the stencil over the plate that I wanted to use. Rebecca Baer Dragonfly Fantasy stencil.

I applied two shades of Americana acrylic paint with my brayer. Pulled print number one.

Allow the design on the plate to dry.

Brayer white on top of dried design and pull print number two.

 On the first card I used watercolor pencils to add some dimension to the dragonfly.

I stamped the Prima girl and fussy cut her out. Added her with dimensions. Coloring was done with watercolor pencils.

 Heres a close up showing the glitter glue I added to the dragonfly.

 For the 2nd card I started with Heartfelt Creations designer paper. Heat embossed the doily using white embossing powder.

I wanted spring colors. The Close to the Heart Country Life stamp set from  was perfect! 

I stamped the cute lamp with the sentiment. The back circle was cut from the first gelli print.

Love the orange and purple colors!

 I'm entering Craft Stamper Magazine challenge
and Word Art Wednesday.

Prima Doll Dream Mixed Media Tag

My OWSE Secret Santa sent me a Prima Tag pad.  I love having the tags ready to be decorated. 

I started off by stamping the letters onto the tag with versa mark and embossed with white embossing powder.    colored over it with a red gelato.  I cleaned the letters off with a cue tip.

Then I stamped a large doily stamp with versa mark and embossed with light blue embossing powder.

I then rubbed some distress inks over the tag with Tim Holtz tool.  I used mustard yellow, vintage photo and old paper.

I stamped my Prima coll onto white cardstock and again on a couple of scrap pieces.  I cut the designer scrap pieces out and paper pieced her clothes.  I love doing that!

Added some snow writer for the lacy frill on the bottom of her skirt, some liquid pearls to her sweater and head band and some glossy accents to her shoes.

Tied on some seam binding and I was done!

 She turned out fabulous!!!
