summer. . . .

isn't really "over" until September 23rd.  But, we tend to think that it is over when the Labor Day weekend arrives.  I finally got a card made for The Mixed Media Card Challenge which is a monthly challenge hosted by Shery Russ, creator of Stamplorations.  Her challenge this month is to create a summer card.

Here is my card:

The background is acrylic paint that was brayered on cardstock as I cleaned it off while making Gelli prints.  I tinted some Liquitex modeling paste with peeled paint Distress Ink and applied it through the stencil.  Then I covered it with Martha Stewart glitter.  The sentiment is from Hampton Art and was white embossed.  The dragonfly is from Impression Obsession and was white embossed on vellum, cut out and popped up over the fern stencil.  Shery has a fun stamp set called Celebrate Artsy with various shapes in it.  I used one of them to add a bit of interest to the corners, which seemed bare to me.

Thanks for visiting!
