Mixed media cards

Hello crafty people, this is Apoorva here.

Today I am gonna share with you my project for this month. I was inspired by the colours and the ocean theme from this our gorgeous moodboard...

I have created two mixed media cards as an inspiration for this month...

Below is the step by step pictorial of my project:

I took 2 white card bases measuring 5"×7"

Then I inked the edges of my card basees using color Burnt Sienna with the help of a foam brush.

Then for background I took 2 pattern papers from the paper pack "Four Elements EARTH " from ITD Collection. And I cut the paper measuring 4-3/4" × 6-3/4"

Then I distressed the edges of the papers using scissors. And inked them the same way as of card bases with the colour Burnt Sienna.

Than I applied a thin coat of clear gesso on to the papers

Then I took some white texture paste and mixed it with some tea leaves and applied it on to the papers using pallet knife. And let it dried.

Then I mixed some art stones with soft matte gel and pasted it on to the backgrounds and let it dried.

Once every thing dried completely I coloured textured part with the colours Teal and Burnt Sienna diluted with water and let it dried.

For the focal point I took chipboard embellishments and primed them with white gesso once it dried I applied same paste that I made earlier and let it dried.

Once every thing dried I coloured them with the same colors that I used for the background.

Then I glued the embellishments on to the background and then I dry brushed everything with white gesso for more intrest.

Then I added sentiments to the backgrounds using " Alphabet Stencil " from ITD Collection and color Teal.

And lastly I adhered my finished pieces to the card bases using double sided foam tape to give some dimensions to the card.

Here is the complete look and closure pictures of my project
