Hi everyone. I have a flip-it's card and gift card folder to share today made using sizzix dies to cut out my mixed media paper.
Lots
of Paper Artsy Fresco Finish chalk paints in opaques and transluscents
(Mermaid, Beach Hut, Snowflake, Blood Orange, Very Berry, Inky Pool,
Lilac) were added to build up the colours in
several layers and then the stenciling was done with the transluscent
shades of the paint. The final layer of stenciling was done with white
paint mixed with Paperartsy matte glaze to knock it back a bit and all
the colours except blue were used through the Tim Holtz heart stencil.
I
stamped over the card base with various stamps from the Tim Holtz
Stampers Anonymous set Bitty Grunge but left the centre extra panel
piece free from stamping for contrast apart from the Tim Holtz Hashtag
sentiment and the stamping on the heart die cut with a Tim Holtz Movers
and Shapers heart die. All the
edges are doodled with dots of white, black and Sakura glaze pen, the
glaze pen adding a bit of shine and the heart has also been given a
layer of Ranger Distress Rock Candy Crackle paint.
The little gift wallet is coloured in the same
way but with less colours of paint and less stamping. The sentiment
panel has been coloured with the same colours as the card and stamped
with another of the hashtag sentiment stamps before doodling and adding
the distress crackle paint.
As I've used a stencil for the hearts I'm entering my card and folder into the July Country View Crafts Challenge of 'stencil it'.

That is a very interesting pattern and the color lends itself to the overall design. The gift card folder is a nice match and completes the set nicely.
Ooh thanks for following me Chris and your lovely comment on my blog. I am already following you so it's lovely that someone who makes such lovely art like you is looking at my stuff :)

Wow this is soo cool. Never heard of fresco colors... Just bought the other day some of those shimmer paints you used on an "older" artwork you showed. Silks now I remember lol.
I never can get enough of your artwork Chris ... Just last night I was there went 2 years back :) it's inspiring and sweet pain at the same time because I know I will never master your skills.
Love
