Mixing it Up!


I needed to make a birthday card and so have been blog hopping to find some challenges to help get me started this Sunday morning. First, came a sketch over at Sketch Saturday, then came some colour over at A Mixed Media Colour challenge and when embellishing my card I went for buttons over at Cute Card Thursday.

 
Here is all the different things I used in project:
 

Here's my card:

 
Close up of doodle tracing through die cut and stencils. Distress stains and hand carved stamping using acrylic paints. More stamping using Black archival ink and added button embellishment with some thread. All matted up onto black netting fabric.
