Christmas Card Club : Mixed Media.
Well Folks its getting near to the end of this years challenges , isn't it unbelievable how a year goes past. Our 24th challenge today was chosen by the lovely Mary, who chose Mixed Media as her theme. So I gave it my best shot to put it on to a card. I started out with a 5 X 7 card and layered it up with gold before adding my background that I embossed with a holly spray stamp, Versamark and Wow embossing powder was used to do this. I gently sponged some Peeled Paint DI around the stamping then using a glue pen round the edges, and I applied TH glitter on top. Whilst this was drying I stenciled a label using a TH stencil and Structure Paste then when it was dry I used my distress inks to colour the leaves, cones and firs. The cones and holly leaves were created using my dies and the ribbons were died using ink pads and sprayed with water. The little sentiment came free with a magazine , finished off with gold embellishments. I hope you all had fun trying out Mixed Media for Mary's challenge. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Hi Rita,
I just new mixed media would be right up your street.
Your card is wonderful and the deisgn is so super.
Love the berries on the tag and your colours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Love the tag topper on this pretty layout. Great work on coloring the stenciled holly & berries as you've done. That's tricky, for me anyway. Love all the different techniques you've used on this card, and it certainly turned out to be a beauty. Enjoyed reading all the how-to-s involved in the creation. TFS & Hugs. Hope all has been well with you & A.

Lovely card Rita - I have an unopened jar of structure paste -must open and try it out!! I like the effect you've got. Does one have to have a blog to join this challenge?
Hello Janet. To answer your question about having a blog, yes you do need one as we do as the Christmas Card club we make a card every two weeks to a theme chosen by one of the members. We would certainly welcome anyone who wanted to join us , but you do need a blog. If you set one up get back to me and I will be happy to put you in touch with Margaret that runs our CCC. Hugs Rita xxx
Beautifully done Rita. This is beautifully textured and finished in a wonderful traditional mixed media style. xxx
I love this card Rita, beautiful stamping and stenciling giving some lovely texture in your design. Mary certainly made us all venture out of our comfort zone.

Your techniques all came together to create and beauty of a card. The finishes look wonderful and I love the wee pinecone!
Very beautiful Christmas card!
Completely in love with this - especially how you've used the stencil - those sparkling berries look just amazing. And the gold-embossed holly sprigs in the background are a great idea too. What a wonderful card!
