Bright Florals Mixed Media Card

June 05, 2020 Sidelle Menon 25 Comments

Hello everyone!

Today I decided to upcycle an old card and book cover to create this Mixed Media bright-colored card inspired by the colors and pattern at The Card Concept's latest challenge. 



The background is made with 3-4 different shades of blue and purple acrylic paints. The flowers and leaves are hand-drawn and painted with acrylic paints. All the acrylic paints that I use are from Camlin as they're high quality, affordable and easily available in my city.



I doodled with a black marker, added some shadows with sketch pens, and 3D Pearl Drops by Little Birdie Crafts for the flower center. Finished off the card with a few blue sequins and white splatters.



Entering this card for the following challenges:

6) The Sisterhood of Crafters - Favorite Technique Challenge (Adding multiple layers- mediums/ mixed media)
10) Sketch Saturday Week #612 (Using Sketch #494)

    Your card is so colourful and vibrant and I like the fact that you used recycled material for your flowers. Could I ask what is that Lynn Matthews stuff? It sounds so positive.

    Happy crafting,

    Monica

      thank you Monica, recycling always brings me joy! The Lynn Matthews quote is printed on the cover of one of my old notebooks. It's - Let me find my true potential, because when I do, the world will know me by my name. They'll say, "That's Lynn Matthews, she's one of a kind!"
