Mixed Media Mushroom Card

 Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week's theme is Mixed Media. Not my forte I must say. But at least I came up with something I can live with.....

I used a paper I created in my last Fresco Paints session using a Gel plate. I still had some bits on it from the last stencil I had used. Used some left over paint on a different stencil and pressed it on there. Anyhow - looks like a mess....I stamped the silhouette mushroom on the background. Added some die cut mushrooms, that I had colored to give them more life. Took a strip of wood paper, ripped the edge and added it. Mounted the whole thing onto a black card base. I figured it passes as mixed media - mono printing, die cutting and stamping. Next week will be better - I promise!

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used: 

Breakout stencil, Wood texture (used similar paper)

Craft Emotions dies, Studio Light Mushrooms

Fresco Banana, Fresco Slimed, Fresco Cherry Red, Fresco Baltic Blue

Speedball Brayer,  Gel Press

 

Fresco Paints Gel Printing

Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week we are featuring Fresco Paints from Paper Artsy. 

I used a brayer and applied different colors of Fresco Paints to a Gel plate. I started out with Banana, Tango and Cherry Red. Placed a stencil on top of it. Got myself two prints from that. Then I laid the stencil onto the clean gel plate and  brayered Baltic blue over it. Did another print - and that's the one I used here. The other ones I will use later. Added some dewdrops from my stash. The sentiment is from a Sticker book.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

Hippety Hoppety Party Time

   Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week the theme is "anything goes" at the Topflight blog. 

I used my gel plate to make the background. Stamped the fine grid stamp onto the card. I stamped the flowers and carrots onto the background and stamped the bunnies onto scrap paper, as well as the carrots again. Colored everything with alcohol ink markers. Cut them out and added them to the stamped images on the background.  Heat embossed the sentiment and added it. 

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

Art by Marlene Bold Butterflies Neon Paint Gel Printed Cards

  

Hello friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a couple of very different card ideas using the fabulous Art by Marlene Bold Butterflies stamp set from the Bold and Bright collection.  

For my first card I used Marlene's neon paints and my Gel Press to make a printed background.  I then embossed the Flower Stack stamps from the Back to Nature collection in white to cover the background.  I used some of Marlene's older die cuts (Floral Style set from the Marlene's World collection) in black to add contrast.  For the butterfly, I stamped onto a second, richer colored neon print and fussy cut her.  I finished with a sticker sentiment.  

My next card is quite different in color, but looks a bit brighter in person.  I used a gel printed background made with PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics and the Vibrant Flowers stencil (which is similar to Hibiscus Love, then embossed the script from the Bold Butterflies set over it in white. 

I added die cuts from the Flora and Fauna stamp set from the Bold and Bright collection to this background and finished with another sticker sentiment.  Again, I layered with a fussy cut butterfly from a separate gel print.  I hope these cards have given you some new ideas on incorporating your gel prints with your new stamps!  xx, Autumn

PaperArtsy Zinski Birds & Jofy Flowers Card

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a fun gel printed greeting card I made for my mom.  My mom was at my house and saw my PaperArtsy mini album I made during Covid and loved it and wanted us to make one, so I first made this card for her.  You can find the details of the album using these stamps and more on my blog HERE. 

For this card I used my 6x6" Gel Press printing plate and PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics in Sargasso and Captain Peacock, along with PaperArtsy stencil by Jofy PS164.  I shared a fun gel printing tutorial for cardmaking HERE if you need a refresh. 

I made a little stand for the birdcage (JM36) and filled in with flowers from PaperArtsy Jofy stamp set JOFY111.  I colored the funky bird by Elena Zinski (mini stamp ZN23) with Prism brush markers and finished with a sticker sentiment.  Fun!  I hope this card and my mini album will inspire you today!  xx, Autumn
