More Mixed Media

 

Hello blogger friends. Thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. I was sitting here ready to type this blog post and I had an interesting phone call from my neighbor.

There was a bear sighting in our community. And it is a big 400 lb. black bear nonetheless. I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh and I am just wondering where he came from?

 

The 2nd sighting is only about a mile from my house. So that was a bit disconcerting. Even as I write this I have to giggle at myself. I spend more time indoors crafting that outside. My hubby is the avid gardener not me. Oh well, I hope the bear moves onto to a more secluded area (lol)!!

 

My card for today is another mixed media piece. On this card, I started with a Heidi Swapp bird stencil and sponged pistachio pudding and spun sugar inks. I like the soft look.

To add some background texture, I mixed some gloss gel medium with spun sugar distress paint and Martha Stewart ballet slipper acrylic paint to get the pink pirouette color. Used a flower stencil from Dylusions and a metal butterfly stencil.

I used a PaperTrey ink die to cut my birthday word and added some pearls to complete my card.

 

Well, it's time for me to hit the road. I have to pick up Ethan ( youngest grandson) at school today. Then Aidin has a baseball game at 6:00. So until next time........God bless.
