2 Mixed Media Cards

 Hello Friends,

I made a couple of mixed media cards. I was inspired by the challenge at The Funky Junky Boutique: Chillin' in the Heat. So the challenge is to either to use hot colors like reds and oranges or cool colors like blues and greens. And because I am literal and cannot make a decision-I made a card for both cool and hot. :)  

So for Christmas I received these Ranger tools that make textures in paste. For the hot card I spread Distress Texture Paste matte on to a piece of Stampin Up paper. You can see the design below.  And then I used this took to make those specific grooves.

This is the cool card.

Here are the sprays I used for the hot card.  I used a spell binders die for the sentiment and some little white gems.

Normally, I don't think I would put the gems like how I did. But here is why--LOL so I must have put the paste on too thick because the paper bent and you can see cracks in some places. I know it's not mixed media paper so maybe a duh moment-however I have a lot of pattern paper, and I can either donate it or use it. Right now I'm trying to use it, and I like how it looks on this card. 

So I sprayed the card and when dry the paper was bowed. So I put a box on it and these mysterious green dots appeared.  So I covered them but they were perfectly lined so I had to add a few more ;)

Here are the colors I used for the cool card. I used a Tim Holtz sizzix die cut and star.

Thank you for stopping by! :)
