Mixed Media card with a shortcut

I do like to play with Mixed Media, but sometimes a shortcut is welcome! I created this card with new supplies from Crafts u love, in particular this beautiful paper pack:

It has some pages in black and white for you to colour, some that are too beautiful to tamper with and some,  like the one I picked for this project, offer a base to start from and avoid the blank canvas panic!
The paper is sturdier than tissue paper, and I collaged it on a spare piece of card.



Next I created a stencil with A Tim Holtz Mixed Media die from a piece of yupo paper, this paper die-cuts very well and can be wiped clean to re-use again and again.

With the stencil I applied texture paste and then Distress Oxides, which the acrylic paint resists.

My focal point is made of stamped fussy cut roses, from a Creative Expression set. Layered stamping is very much in vogue and personally, I love stamping in colour and getting away of the black outline look of classic stamps.

Finally I added an embellishment made from a stamped and die-cut tag.
