Shabby Mixed Media Wedding Card for ScrapBerry's

Welcome to my creative space!

Weddings are such special occasions! ScrapBerry's gorgeous Winter Joy Collection was absolutely perfect to create a card for the sweet couple's snowy winter wedding.

Tips and Techniques

You can see the gorgeous ScrapBerry's cream gardenia here used as the focal point of the cluster. I filled out the arrangement with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. They are dry brushed with white gesso to soften the colors and give a snowy feel. Loops of ScrapBerry's Wax String add so much lovely texture tucked behind the flowers and their Wedding 2 Resin Chrysanthemum is a sweet little touch. White ink spatter adds to a wintry snowy feel, and I've distressed the paper edges to give a rustic, shabby look.

These ScrapBerry's Winter Joy papers have such soft and delightful designs that worked so perfectly for this shabby mixed media wedding card. The ScrapBerry's Polymer wedding sentiment was brushed with gesso, then when dry with gold color spray. It's finished off with a dusting of super fine glitter that reminds me of glistening snow.

I added a chipboard chandelier from Dusty Attic colored with embossing powder, then rubbed with a bit of Finnabair's Rose Gold Wax and bejeweled with teardrop pearls. The background is stenciled with a mixture of gel medium, microbeads and glitter, then dusted with more super fine glitter while still wet. The Art Anthology Lotus stencil reminds me of the wedding ring quilt my grandmother created and gave to us on our wedding day.

 One final look.

I hope you've been inspired to grab your Scrapberry's products

Precious Moments Forever Mixed Media Card for ScrapBerry's

Welcome to my creative space!

My dear sister lost her beloved kitty recently. She had Trixie for 18 years, and she was a special part of her family. I created this special sympathy card for her featuring ScrapBerry's A Furry Little Story Collection. The tiger striped kitten looks just like Trixie and so perfect for this card.

Close-Ups

This sweet cluster includes ScrapBerry's Peach Gardenia, Blue & White Cherry Blossoms, Skeleton Leaves, Flair Button, Winds of Travel Clock, White Shabby Ribbon which I colored, and a sentiment stamped with the Elegy Precious Moments set.

Of course I had to add mixed media textures. I used the gorgeous Art Anthology Keyhole Stencil with Prima Light Paste to create texture, then added colors pulled from the sweet pillow and crown using Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Mists. Microbeads, Prills, and Mica Flakes are added around the cluster for additional texture.

The kitten looks like she is playfully batting at something, so I added this Elegy Polymer Butterfly which I colored with several shades of creamy Prima Finnabair art wax.

Here's a little tip. I always brush my background papers with clear gesso - mostly to reduce warping. Here's another great benefit. When spritzing color mist, I covered the little kitty in teal. Not a great color for a cat, but since I had brushed over her with clear gesso, I was able to use a damp paper towel to dab off all of the teal color to save my project.
