Hello crafty friends and Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Ericka here from Strangely Creative, and today I'm celebrating with a fun and vibrant mixed media card that blends bold textures, bright colors, and of course, a bit of sparkle!
This card features the whimsical PaperArtsy Tracy Scott 097 stamp set layered over one of my favorite gel press prints. I love pulling prints without overthinking color choices—it’s always fun to see how random combos come together to create such unique, textured backdrops!
To amp up the background, I added shine and dimension using the PaperArtsy 458 stencil with embossing ink, followed by a sprinkle of WOW! Embossing Powder in Pea Coat. The shimmer is subtle but magical—like a mini fireworks show on your card!
For my focal point, I stamped one of Tracy Scott’s gorgeous blooms in gray on watercolor paper. I played around with my watercolor pencils (still learning!) and layered in depth and contrast using my trusty colored pencils. After fussy cutting the flower, I popped it up with foam tape for a bit of lift.
The sentiment comes from the Creative Expressions Birthday Sentiment sheet, which I lightly tinted to coordinate with the colors in my background. It’s a simple finish but pulls everything together beautifully.
Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing part of your holiday with me! Don’t forget to check out the awesome 4th of July sale going on right now—perfect time to grab those supplies you’ve been eyeing!
Wishing you a day full of color, sparkle, and creativity! 💙❤️💥
