Sweet Mixed Media Card

I have a Design Team project to show you today for our April Challenge at Hiraf Blog. This months challenge has a dreamy pastel mood board.





I have created a collage/mixed media style card based around those beautiful pastel colours and sweet things using an image from my stash of some yummy macaroons

I used some DIY texture paste through a Handmade stencil to create some depth and dimension, then added a bit of stamping before adding the colour with my DIY ink sprays {you can find the recipe for the sprays below}.


Finally I used some distressed inks to distress the edges of the card and two word tags to complete the look.



SUPPLIES LIST:
STAMPS
TPC Studio "Cupcakes"
INKS
Stazon jet black
DIY alcohol ink sprays
TH distress ink pads .. mustard seed, tumbled glass & worn lipstick
PAPER/CARD
Heavy weight paper (local store)
DIES
Sizzix/Tim Holtz - Alterations Collection - Mixed Media
ACCESSORIES & TOOLS
Prima Marketing/Finnabair Metallic Mica Powder
Tacky Glue
DIY modeling paste
Bling from my stash

How To Make Your Own Alcohol Inks 


SUPPLIES:-
Rubbing Alcohol
Small Spray Bottles
Inexpensive Markers (similar to Sharpies)

INSTRUCTIONS:- {Ensure you wear gloves this can be a bit messy}

1. Fill up the spray bottle to about half full with the rubbing alcohol.
2. Pull apart the markers one at a time and remove the ink foam tube, drop this immediately into the alcohol and leave to soak out all the ink for a few hours (you can carefully cut the tube in half to fit if needed)
3. Remove the tube and squeeze out all the liquid into the bottle. Replace the spray top and shake gently to mix
I ended up with a nice selection of colours which were really quite vivid. Happy Spritzing :)
