Today I've got something a little different for you. Over on my YouTube channel I'm sharing a new video that's a more live version of me crafting. Not truly live, but it's me crafting and chatting in real time. It's the first time I've recorded a video in this way. Normally, I do a voiceover which means I record what I'm doing then go back and record my voice explaining what I'm doing and then put them together. I thought it might be fun to mix it up a little and share a video that's not perfectly edited and with all the oops moments deleted! With that said, this video is a bit longer than my normal videos because of this. I hope you will check it out and I hope you enjoy what you see. If you all seem to enjoy it, I'll consider doing another one in the future.
In the video I'm sharing how I created this Mixed Media Valentine's Day Card, so I'm not going to go into too many details in this post. I will share some of the main techniques and you can still find a complete supply list at the bottom of this post.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY CARD
For the background, I used the Tim Holtz Entangled 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper. I then applied embossing ink over the embossed paper, sprinkled it with Antique Linen Embossing Glaze and embossed it with my heat gun.
Next, I applied Walnut Stain Distress Crayon over the entire surface using a stencil brush to push the pigment from the crayon into all of the cracks and crevices. I then wet my finger and rubbed lightly over the surface to remove some of the crayon and better reveal the details of the embossed design.
For the focal point, I die cut a heart from a piece of Idea-ology paper and inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I then die cut the word love using the Scrapbook.com Block Word Die Set from gold Metallic Kraft Stock (which I distressed by rubbing a sanding block over) and red cardstock. I also used the Tim Holtz Tailored Die Set and cut it out from colored cardstock as well. I used Distress Collage Medium to adhere the various layers together and then adhered them to the die cut heart. For a little dimension, I used double sided foam adhesive to adhere the hat and coat.
Next up, I added the sentiment which is from the Scrapbook.com Celebrate Everyday Stamp Set. It is stamped onto white cardstock using Black Soot Archival Ink, trimmed into a strip and then adhered with a strip of foam tape.
The final step was to layer the panel onto a piece gold Metallic Kraft Stock which I distressed with a sanding block.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out my Mixed Media Valentine's Day Card.
