Mixed Media Card Challenge #6 - Home

This is my second post for the day, Please click HERE for my CAS-ual Friday's Stamps - Cyber Monday sale


Time for another mixed media delight with fun challenge at The Mixed Media Card Challenge #6. You can also join in the fun!! Read about mixed media definition HERE and u will know what I am talking about.  So let's see what our challenge is and what I created...
Home with an optional element of Lace.... I had my idea in place and incorporating the lace was not a possibility with this idea. I will come up with another reminder card that uses a lace
To make this card, I took a water colored card stock and embossed it with the world map embossing folder from Darice. Next I water colored this with some distress inks (Mowed Lawn, Peacock feathers, Chipped Sapphire and Vintage photo). I then added the cork houses on the map (from freckled Fawn) and some die cut hearts. To finish the look I adhered this panel on kraft card stock, stamped the sentiments in white pigment ink. I am sharing this at Virginia's View #10 - All things Distressed, Sketch Saturday #338, Crafty Creations Challenge # 277 - Embossing and Time Out Challenge #19 - Embossing
 
There is a lot more incredible inspiration by a versatile and uber talented team :) Please head over to our challenge blog to check out the details of the challenge and some more inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
