Hey friends! I think I mentioned it in one of my reveal posts but Newton’s Nook released more toner card fronts but we didn’t get them in time to play for reveal week. Well, I made a point to play this week so I could share something fun with you to show how awesome they are!
I have been vibing the mixed media feels more than usual lately so that’s the route I took. I hope you like it!
This is the holly and berries toner card front from the new Tis the Season pack foiled with Emerald Watercolor Thermoweb deco foil. I use a Minc machine to foil but a regular laminator works just the same. Don’t be fooled!
After foiling, I ink blended distress oxide inks over the top in a gradient of reds – candied apple, to aged mahogany with a little fired brick in the middle. Then I layered my Reindeer stencil over the top an randomly spread texture paste through it on to the toner card front. Once that dried it gave a cool bleed through from the ink and I love it.
Once that was dry I tore the edge off one side and took my blending tool to distress the edge with brown and black inks. I didn’t add ink to the blending tools, just whatever was still on it gave enough ink. Then I distressed a strip of kraft cardstock and glued it to a white card front before popping the toner card panel up with foam tape.
Last, I die cut the new Happiest Holidays sentiment dies from black and rose gold cardstocks, gluing the layers together and popping them up on the card front with foam squares.
I know mixed media and messy things aren’t for everyone. I have grown to love them over the years and embrace joy when creating them too. I hope you found something in today’s project that you like or want to try.
