Mixed Media Card
How
to Make
1.
Cut a piece of white card 6 x 6 and paint it with white chalk
paint. Once this is dry, stick a 6cm band of white lace to your card and paint
over in white chalk paint.
TIP: Make sure your surfaces are protected with paper.
2.
Cut an image from the Santoro Mirabelle Decoupage paper and stick
to the centre of the card once the chalk paint has dried to create a focal
point.
3.
To create a border around the image, we have layered 3 frames on
top of the image and added 2 layered wooden keys to the top of the frames.
4.
Die cut several doilies and stick around the edges of the card,
cut the edges off the doilies which are not on the card.
5.
Decorate your card with a mixture of embellishments. We have added
paper flowers to the top left and bottom right of the wooden frames with some
pearl & diamante adornments, assorted buttons and wooden embellishments. A
single Santoro Mirabelle Metal Corner has been added to the left hand corner of
the card.
6.
Cover the decoupage image then paint all of the embellishments
with the chalk paint.
7.
Die cut a doily and use as a stencil to spray over the card with shimmer
mist. We have used the turquoise mister on the top and bottom of the card and
used the magenta on the left.
TIP– Place your card in a box when using the mister
8.
Add a small amount of gold and silver wax to some of the
embellishments and to the edge of your card. To finish, pearl effects dots have
been placed randomly on the card.
9.
Once all is dried, stick to your white card blank with double
sided tape.
The Secret Wooden Heart
How
to Make
1.
Remove the twine string and paint the wooden
heart in chalky paint.
2.
To give your wooden heart a textured effect, die cut a doily and
cut in half. Stick both halves on the edge of the heart, cut away the edges
which are not on the heart.
3.
Stick your Santoro Mirabelle Decoupage paper
onto centre of the heart. Frame your paper with lace. You will approximately
need 38 cm worth of lace to create your border.
4.
Decorate your card with a mixture of embellishments. We have added
paper flowers, assorted buttons, wooden animal to the bottom left of the heart.
We have then used a button, a metal butterfly and key to the top right. Stick
two wooden hearts together and add a button on top to give depth to the heart.
Place the wooden heart onto the lace border.
5.
Once you have finished decorating, cover with Chalky Paint and
wait to dry. Remember to cover your central image when painting.
6.
Die cut a doily and use as a stencil to spray over the card with
shimmer mist. We have mainly used the turquoise mister on the heart and used
the magenta mister on the embellishments and sprayed randomly.
7.
We have then used the gold wax to pain the edges
of the heart and the embellishments. The silver wax has been used to add
shimmer to the doily dies. To finish, add pearl effect dots in sets of three
randomly around your wooden heart

stuck three to the left hand corner and surrounded them with a Santoro

buttons. To finish, stick a wooden bird to the right hand corner of the lid.
