I've been seeing a lot about using Mixed Media on cards.
I usually create a card without thinking about
a specific technique.
I have to admit that the thought of using more than one
boggled my mind.
But my friend Loll is on the DT Team for a new challenge
It's a monthly challenge and they define Mixed Media as
Basically, a card that has stamps and inks PLUS at least two other items (embossing paste and alcohol inks, for example) is a mixed media card in our book.
I used a stamp and ink for the sentiment.
The flower and leaves are punched from a piece of watercoloring
(and cardstock).
And I used an embossing folder.
Watercoloring, punching, embossing
along with the stamp and ink
makes Mixed Media. (I think)
That wasn't so hard!
This went to a dear friend who is experiencing some health issues.
I hope she receives this card before she sees it here!
Thanks for stopping by and I really do appreciate your comments.
Enjoy!

It's a beautiful card for your friend. I like your idea of Mixed Media because I always go the hard route and use inks, sprays, pastes..you name it. LOL
Gorgeous!
Bonnie, it's simply lovely. That pop of bright watercolor against the embossed white is sensational design, and I love that flower too. TFS & Happy wkend. Hugs

Mixed media sounds fun! You sure came up with a beautiful card!
Wow Bonnie, this card is stunning! I love your flower-so inky, so beautiful and colorful. The embossing is beautiful, really love that embossing folder. I am afraid of trying a mixed media card too but you have made it look pretty simple. Of course that is the key word-"looks". lol But will have to give it a try sometime. Hugs, Brenda
