I created a mixed media card with an old book page and embellished it using Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Buckle and Prima Flowers Tin Heart.
This is a 4.25" X 5.5" card that I used cream card stock as the card base. To create the watercolor effect on the background, I first sprayed the Distress Spray with various colors on the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil, then pressed the watercolor paper on the stencil. The colored paper was cut and pasted on the card base.
I torn an old book page and distressed it with Art Dauber and ink pads. The metal embellishments were colored with Distress Paints, and pasted on the layered book page and torn corrugate sheet. I then added the sentiment with Tim Holtz Big Chat Sticker.
I really had fun creating this mixed media card and hope it inspired you to create something with the theme "based on a book". I am looking forward to seeing what you create!

Awesome card, Meihsia! I love the bright colors and embellishments you chose for it. Old book pages are such a wonderful element to use! hugs, Maura
What a beautiful card! The background is cute, me too love this technique of negative stenciling and use it a lot. Sometimes it gives better effects that the standard stenciling. Love all the details on the focal point, the old paper, corrugated cardboard and the metal embellishmets. Great colors as always! Hugs, Marzena
Love how bold and modern this is Meihsia (yet it still has pretty which I always associate with you). Love the fabulous chunky embellishments - they really fit with the sentiment. Stunning card! Nicola x
