Knight in Shining Armor Card with Corina Finley

Happy beginning of Fall!

Thank you for joining me today. I have created a mixed media card showcasing the Ornate Oval Frame. I really enjoyed creating each element of this card and found this sentiment humorous!

My stamped image was coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and placed in the Ornate Oval Frame. I used Gesso and a stipple brush to create a textured look, then painted it with Distress Paint in Pewter. Added paper flowers and tinfoil balls for embellishments.

On the left side of the card, I adhered two hinges inked with Pewter Distress Stain. The sentiment was printed for a computer and matted with tinfoil and black distressed cardstock.

Imagination is Boundless Card by Corina Finley

Hello!

I am back on the blog today after a month away with a Mixed Media Card. I love using various medias to creating layers and depth. My favourite media to use is chipboard embellishments. It allows me to alter and create in any colour palette I choose!

I layered Script Pattern Paper on top of Kraft and then Java Brown cardstock. I used my sewing machine to stitch just inside of the edge of the top layer of the Script Pattern Paper.

For the Ornate Oval Frame, I used Lumiere Paint in Old Brass. I then added Frantage Embossing Powder and brown glass fragments, here and there. I stamped my sentiment for the center, using Black ink and heat embossed using Fine Detailed Embossing Powder in Black.

I adhered the Ornate Oval Frame to the center of my card. I used the Frantage Embossing Powder on the Squares Pattern before I cut into pieces and added them to the card front. I then arranged an assortment of Paper Flower and embellished with the small Leaf Sprigs.

Southern Ridge Chipboard used:

Squares Pattern

Leaf Sprigs
