I'm super excited to be a part of this new mixed media blog called The Mixed Media Card Challenges! Have you seen this post with DT intros? This is a monthly challenge on the first of each month and it's making cards mixed media style! I love exploring different styles and ways to create so while I will still make more of the "Traditional" style cards that I have always made I'm happy to dabble in new things as well.
Here is the first challenge with a theme: TOUCH OF NATURE with an optional element of a tag.
Here is what I came up with :
So I love making tags and I started with that first.
I used a butterfly stencil along with Glass Beads mixed with Dylusions sprays with a dash of glitter to create this fun sparkly butterfly. For the background of the tag I heat embossed in white a Unity Stamp then added Distress inks for a resist effect. Then I stenciled the butterfly.
Unity Stamps
Well that's all for today! Be sure to swing on by The Mixed Media Card Challenges to play along and check out what the fabulous Design Team cooked up!
Till later!

Fabulous tag/card, Maria! Great colors.
Hi! Gorgeous card, Maria! I love the bright tag! I see you love Dylusions... me too! Especially the messy fingers afterwards ;) If you hop over to my blog you will find that I love them way to much and what I do with them... I have developed a Tie Dye Transfer technique using these sprays... I think you'd like it. In fact, I used this technique on my card for this challenge. Let me know what you think ;) I have also joined your blog and can't wait to see more of your amazing creations! Ingrid xx p.s.: sorry about the novel of a comment... :)
LOVE your glass bead butterfly and the rest of your FAB card Marie!
Glass beads and Dylusions - wow, what a technique. Love those bright colors you've used.
