new. beginnings.

I've a reminder card for you today for The Mixed Media Card Challenge. I've got a wedding card, but I skipped the optional sequins. I've got enough going on on my card without 'em ;)



This card was a result of me and my new Color Bursts trying to get to know each other. I dry embossed watercolor CS, poofed some blue and green CB onto it, spritzed it with water and panicked. But after some tipping, dabbing and patience, I was pretty happy with this cool BG panel. And after sopping up leftover color, got five tags outta the deal too!

Grungy stamped some hearts, die cut a heart from old tulle and added a nest of wispy gold thread. I heat embossed "celebrate" from Winnie and Walter Big and Bold Extras onto a snippet of black CS and die cut "love" from Amy Tangerine from black CS and white fun foam. Adhered them together and topped it with Glossy Accents.


Even adhered the "love" with dimensional adhesive. And cuz it's so yummy, here's another shot of that texture and shine!


I'm really pleased with this result. Just have to get a better relationship going with those poofy Color Bursts. Anyone know of good videos for me to watch?

I'm playing at:
Stamps and Stencils - Oh So Blue
Addicted to Stamps and More #176 - Anything Goes
Sisterhood of Crafters - Something old (tulle), Something new (Color Bursts)
Anything but Cute #9 - Bring in the New (Color Bursts)

Thanks for visiting.

    Very cool card, Maria. Those blues and greens on that embossed background are just fantastic! This is a great card for a modern bride and groom. Sorry I can't help you with any color bust videos; I haven't jumped on this trend (yet) but there must be some good ones on YouTube.... Have a great weekend. Bev

    How anyone could ever put this texture-y, dimensional, awesome card down I'll never know, Maria ... I'd be continually wanting to run my fingers over it! Gorgeous ... and a stunner! Sorry, can't help with the videos ... but see Shirley did! Hugs, Anita :)
