DecoArt Mixed Media Camaro Card

I have a mixed media card today.

The order is for a 17 year old boyfriend that loves Camaro's. 

Here's what I came up with.

I mixed some DecoArts Metallic Lustre to DecoArt Texture paste and used it thru a great brick stencil made by Retta's Stencils.

 I saw this cool design on pinterest!!  I had to try it.  I found the picture of the Camaro on pinterest too. It's a handy little place!  I used dimensional s to pop the car up in the front. Once it was in place, I rubbed some of the Shimmer Black Metallic Lustre Wax randomly over the front of the card.

 Here's the inside. Pretty cool huh?

RRR and Mojo Monday Challenge

Grandparents Day is Sunday.  Here are some cards I made for orders.

This first one features Really Reasonable ribbon.  I love this material-it makes into bows really nicely and it's a great width. Their challenge is something with wings and ribbon/trim.

I followed the sketch at Mojo Monday challenge # 414

 I've used Wild Orchid Flowers on all three cards and Heartfelt Creations designer paper.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #124 showing fall colors and ribbon.

Word Art Wednesday challenge #199 using free wordart scripture 

Simon Wednesday Challenge: Anything goes

 I started with my gelli plate.  I used a green and pressed my wood grain embossing folder into it, then added Die for the sentiment layer. Ran the fall color cardstock with a Stampin Up leave die and cut them out. Used Distress ink to highlight the edges and "veins:" Ribbon for the final touches!  I LOVE fall colors and will be sending this to a friend that just gotten home from rehab. An encouraging card for anytime of the year.  The sentiment is FREE from Word Art Wednesday blog.

I hope you love it as much as I do!  Have a blessed day!
 

The Blue Door using DecoArt paint and pattern

DecoArt Social Art Networking - have fun painting a great picture when you've never even painted!  That's what we did last Friday.   Using one of the designs from Social Art Networking, I taught the techniques that they used to create a great painting anyone would be proud to have hanging on their wall! 

 We use all DecoArt Americana paints. They followed my lead and voila' this is what they created!! I'm so proud of each one!!

 Here's my finished one.  It's called The Blue Door.

 If you are interested in hosting a class-let me know! I will be glad to come to your house and we'll have some fun creating!

Unity new Tuesday link up Hop

More fun with DecoArt acrylic paint, gelli plate and Unity Stamps!

Below is my background-I love making my own designer paper! 

I used Americana buttermilk and a blue to create this awesome background.

 I used a Unity stamp butterfly and stamped in random areas using brown archival ink on the background.  Then stamped one on white cardstock with black archival ink. Colored it in with various acrylic paint. Fussy cut and added to my card.  The sentiment is also a Unity stamp.

 I usually attach my to my card base using glue since the paper ends up thicker and I'm scared regular snail tape won't hold good.

I'll be linking up to Unity Stamp Company Tuesday Hop.  It's taking the place of Friends with Flair on Friday's.  Don't miss out!
