Colorful Mixed Media Card With Positive Sentiment

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to INSPIRE!

Sometimes we need a card and need it quick, with no time to run out a buy one.

If you have the right supplies, you can make one that easy to put together, but has LOADS of personality.

That is what I have done this week for my DT project for Rita Barakat Designs.

I used a 6x6 Mixed Media Card, as I wanted to add color using the Aladine Izink Inks & 3D Izink Texture Paste.

And the perfect touch, one of Rita's "Wild & Free" Die Cuts, which just happens to be my FAVE collection!

I randomly dropped the inks separately unto an acrylic sheet, then applied it face down to the card, to achieved random patterns. Allowing to dry between each color.

I applied beautiful washi tape with sentiments and designs, over the surface of the card.

I also applied with a spatula, the 3D Izink Texture paste using a honeycomb stencil, randomly over the card.

Once everything had set, I added the die cat using Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares, and finished with self adhesive pearl stencils, mini flowers, and metal embellishment. 

Yes it was that easy!

And what a cheerful and encouraging card to share!

Beautiful Reverse Color Resist Card How To

Hello & Welcome to INSPIRE!

Today I want to share with a quick and easy way to make beautiful card loaded with color and detail, finished with 

BEAUTIFUL Dies created by Rita Barakat.

I want to add that this card was inspired by a project recently posted by the talented & lovely Betz Golden, using  tags to create a card base.

The base of my card was created by using a smooth medium weight cardstock base, designed and cut into a large tag using my Cricut machine.

After cutting the tag, I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink pad, and an application tool, to add total color to both sides of the tag. 

Once I had applied the color, I then used a branch design stencil, and diaper wipes to remove color on both sides of the tag. Then heat set the remaining color.

I chose the fold of the tag, slightly off center, to create the card base. From my stash, I added small printed script tags to create a closure of sorts for the card applied with double sided tape.

For design and salutation, I used the beautiful "Fearfully & Wonderful Made" die cut along with it's matching Floral Branch from the Be True  Dies Collection by Rita Barakat, to bring the card together.

Finishing touches were the addition of ribbon that coordinated with the dies to serve as a card closure, a blank square of white cardstock for the inside of the card, and adding a few dots of  Nuvo Crystal Drops to coordinate with the card.

And there you have it.

A beautiful card, with an even more beautiful reminder,

of just how special we are.
