Mixed Media Christmas card



Hello :)
It's Friday and time for a new Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge!
This week we would like you to share projects which feature

BUTTONS, BEADS and BLING

Our lovely sponsors this week are Crafty Sentiments Designs who are offering one randomly selected winner 3 digital stamps from their fabulous collection.
As always there is gorgeous inspiration from the fabulous DT girls too!
Hop over HERE for all the details.


Inspired by Finnabair I made 4 cards playing with beads, buttons, paint, ink and glitter.



I first added some torn book paper, buttons, beads, gems and a bottle cap to a piece of cardstock.
I then covered the whole piece with Gesso.


I really wanted to keep the white space on the card so instead of spraying the ink I used a paint brush to add it where I wanted it. This gave me much more control.
I used Maya Gold in Gold and  Dylusions Post box red and black.



When it was dry I added a mix of ultra fine glitter and some chunky gold glitter.



To finish I added a little Inca Gold in gold with a sponge over some of the raised areas.




I'll be back soon with my second card using this technique soon :)
Thanks for stopping by have a great weekend!
