This card is a MIX CARD. Not just because it was for the Splitcoast Stampers Mixed Media (MIX 61). I used a mixture of challenges as well. I used (SC481) altered a little, (WT472) to make a tall card for March Madness. It is also for Word Art Wednesday (WAW125) and (F4A214) to have a background with circles.
I started with the background which was an encyclopedia page. I glued 3 layers of teal tissue paper. I then did faux barn board technique over the top of that with white acrylic paint. I then took another piece of cardstock and I used 3 different sizes of circle punches. I randomly punched them. I used that cardstock as a stencil to apply silver inka gold metallic rub. I then took another page from the encyclopedia. I punched 3 different flowers and leaves. I added turquoise ink to them and glued them to the encyclopedia page. I then put drywall tape over the top. I then covered the leaves, flower and tape with glue and a single sheet of the tissue paper. When it was dried I cut out the shape using nestabilites and cuttlebug. I rubbed more of the silver inka gold over the top. The long skinny panel was done by taking gray textured cardstock and using my embossing folder and cuttlebug. I added glue to the top and tore pieces of the tissue paper and randomly placed them over the gray. I then went over the embossing with more silver inka gold. I finished it off with brads, wire, beads, charm and a teal ribbon. It is a card that was hard to photo graph. It looks kinda flat here but there is so much texture, and the silver shines as it catches the light.
