Winnie & Walter June 2017 Release Premiere Day #1

5:00 AM by 

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of Winnie & Walter's new release! Today is the premiere of In Bloom: Carolina's Florals with Angelica Suarez (and coordinating dies), Mini Scenery: Spotty, In a Word: Birthday Cutaway, and In a Word: Party Cutaway. This new In Bloom floral set really reminds me of In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya so I decided to combine images from both sets to create a mixed media card.
For the heart die cut, I first stamped the images with an ombre ink pad. Next, using the MISTI, I stamped again with VersaMark ink so I can heat emboss clear sparkly embossing powder to create a resist effect. Then I sponged Worn Lipstick, Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemonade, and Carved Pumpkin distress inks to complete the rainbow look. The heart die I used is actually from a set (From the Bottom of My Heart Cutaways) that will be featured tomorrow, so stay tuned!
I am a die hard fan (no pun intended ;) ) of W&W's word dies so it's no surprise that I used the new birthday one as the sentiment once again. I paired it up with the big "happy" stamp from In Bloom: Carolina's Florals, which I gold heat embossed so it matches the gold spotty background. 

 For this project I used Scenery: Spotty Creative Screenings (to be featured on Thursday, June 29) with gold crackled embossing paste to create the background but you can also gold heat emboss the Mini Scenery: Spotty stamp to achieve a similar look. I embellished the card with a few enamel dots and some leaf die cuts, and that finishes off the card! I hope you enjoyed looking at my creation, and I hope you'll stop by again tomorrow. Thanks so much for visiting! :)

Monogrammed Room Decor

11:20 PM by 
I love to make 3D projects, but unlike flat cards they are hard to mail in envelopes and I often wonder if the recipients have proper places to store them. My solution is to send them along with matching shadow boxes. Some of the shadow boxes are quite expensive, especially if you have a larger project, but I think it's definitely worth the money as you can preserve it for longer. Today I'm sharing a room decor (only the center piece that is. I'll need to get more of those boxes!) I made featuring my initial. I quite like how it turned out, although I still have a lot to learn about the mixed media style. 

As you can see here I added a lot of shimmer to the watercolored background and also used wink of stella on some of the die cuts. You can probably tell that I was going for a girly and magical feel. :)

Another idea would be changing the monogram die cut into sentiments such as "thanks" or "happy day." I think this design would work as a wedding gift as well.

This is my first attempt at creating a mixed media layout. I felt very challenged but did enjoy the process of creating it! I'm planning on putting it into a black framed shadow box and gifting it to a friend on her graduation.
