A little mixed media casing

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

Back at the beginning of December I 

saw this post on the Hero Arts blog,

and thought this card looked really cool,

so I tried my hand at making it.

Do I have any of the products used in

the video? Nope. I used what I already had on hand.

(My supply list is always at the bottom of my posts.)

Here's my version:

The background was created using Distress Inks, then splattered

with white and gold acrylic paint. The same gold was used on

the letters. I used foam strips on the letters, but I had to trim

the foam on a lot of the letters. (the foam strips were just

slightly thicker than the letters. Ugh!)

Here's the finished inside:

Luckily for me I made another panel, in case I messed up,

(But I didn't. Yay!), so I made another card.

This time I die cut the letters three times, stacked and glued together.

(Much easier, and less swear words were said. LOL!)

I really enjoyed the process of making the background,

and I'm thinking of trying it using just blues/greens or

maybe reds/pinks/purples. 

Thank you, Channin Pelletier, for the inspiration!

That's all I have for now. Thank you for

visiting, and I wish you a great day!
