So I did something I swore I would never do....Mixed Media. To be honest, I just didn't "get it". But after seeing what some of the MFT Design team has done with Mixed Media, I had to at least give it a try. So I made a card. Getting messy was kind of fun :)
I started with a piece of Mixed Media paper that I cut using the new Blueprints 4 Die-namics. I painted it with Gesso and when dry, added some modeling paste over drywall tape. When that was dry, I painted the entire surface with some Martha Stewart Putty paint. Over that I added some more modeling paste using the new Graduated Diamonds Stencil. That modeling paste is the coolest stuff. The diamonds have so much dimension! The layer under the roses was cut with one of the rectangular dies from Blueprints 1. It was stamped with the new Art Expression Text background in Kraft Ink.
The roses are from Mona's new set, Blooming Roses and the Rose Bouquet Die-namics. They were stamped in Kraft Ink and then in Hot Fudge. The leaves were stamped in Sour Apple. The sentiment is from Peaceful Wildflowers and was stamped on a Sentiment Strip in Hot Fudge Ink.
Here are the products I used on my card today:

Mixed media works for me Jackie...great card!
Absolutely stunning!
This is BEAUTIFUL! I NEVER thought I would be interested in mixed media either. I didn't "get it" either. Then I kept getting stuck on Mona's blog staring at all the details of her creations. Knowing you were in the same boat and gave it a try and did THIS......now I am gonna have to try, too!
I love it, Jackie! I have been seeing mixed media everywhere and wanted to try it too! Haven't gotten the nerve yet though...lol. Your card turned out wonderfully!!!
I like the colors, techniques and subtle, shabby look of your mixed media card! :)
I don't think I'll ever jump on the mixed media boat, but this is soooo cool! Beautiful!
this is fabulous, love the design
I honestly haven't even liked the mixed media look up until now and then you make something gorgeous. Really???? : ) No mixed media for me, though. I need to save my crafting $$ for MFT!! : )
AMAZING job today, Jackie!!!!
