Mixed Media Card Stars and Stripes

Hi, my talented friends, welcome back! I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "STARS and STRIPES". I was inspired to create a mixed media card using Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp Flag Sketch and embellished it with Prima Market Rustic Gears.

To start this project, I trimmed the heavy white card stock into a 4.25" X 5.5" card base. I cut another two pieces of card stock in different colors that are slightly smaller than the card base, then layered and pasted them on the card base using double side tapes. 

On a piece of white card stock I stamped the flag image using the red ink pad and heat embossed the image with the clear embossing powder and a heat tool. The image was cut and pasted on the card. On a piece of blue card stock, I stamped the blue and stars part of the flag and heat embossed with the white embossing powder. The stars with the blue background was cut and pasted on the flag. 

To decorate the card, I added some sticker sentiments and pasted the colored metal gears using Adhesive Dots. As the final step, I randomly glued some stars on the card.

Mixed Media Tag Travel and Transport It

Hello my craft friends, hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Let's play the new challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Our theme is week is "TRANSPORT IT". I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Rubber Stamp Travel Ways and decorated it with Idea-Ology Quote Token.

I started this project by cutting this size 8 tag with the watercolor paper, then I colored the background with watercolors and brushes. After the watercolors were dry, I stamped the train and railroad image on the tag with Tim Holtz rubber stamps and the black ink pad. 

On a piece of white heavy card stock, I stamped the train and the sign images, heat embossed them with  the clear embossing powder, then cut and pasted them using foam tabs and Tombow Mono glue. 

I colored the metal embellishments with Distress Paints and glued them on the tag. Some sentiments were added on the tag using Tim Holtz Quotation Stickers. To finish off this project, I outlined the tag with a black brush pen.

This is such a fun project and I really enjoyed the old steam train stamp for this "TRANSPORT IT" theme this week. I hope you got inspired to create your project and join us! I can't wait what you make!
