Spellbound | Mixed Media Card
Hello! Thanks for visiting our blog today. Lynda is here with a tutorial for this awesome mixed media card, bringing Harry Potter vibes! Lynda used our brilliant FREE YOUR IMAGINATION stamp set and A to Z stencil.
This week’s project for Visible Image uses the magical ‘Free Your Imagination’ stamp set and ‘A to Z’ stencil. Such a great combination!
Tutorial
It’s been a while since I have used my gel plate, so I decided to play around with it to create a circular background for this card.
I began by adding a thin layer of Paynes Grey paint to the plate with a brayer and laying the stencil over the top. It’s important to remember to reverse the stencil so that when the print is pulled it’s the right way round.
I lay a piece of card over the top and rubbed the back carefully to lift the paint from the empty spaces. This gave me a great monochrome print to use another day.
I carefully removed the stencil and brayered on Salvaged Patina distress paint and white acrylic paint.
I am always excited to see what emerges when I pull a gel print, and this was no exception. It turned out exactly as I had hoped!
When the paint was completely dry I stamped and embossed the bird in the corner.
On an inky mop up sheet I stamped the ink bottle, quill and book. I stamped the book twice and fussy cut the top pages to decoupage to add more dimension.
Before I adhered these and the sentiment I stamped some ink splats around the bottom to help pull the whole piece together.
