Lost Without A Mixed Media Drizzle Challenge

Popping in today with another mixed media card for the MIX260: Just A Drizzle challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Join in for some fun! Tomorrow, every Friday for that matter, there will be a brand new challenge!

My card is made with a Love You More sentiment from Technique Junkies. Stop by and shop with my special 10% discount code, TJ10Janelle.

I started this card with sponging More Mustard Distress Ink onto white cardstock and then placed my homemade hot glue drizzle stencil on top to spray Abandoned Coral,  Cracked Pistachio and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stain randomly around the paper. I did rotate the stencil after the Abandoned Coral layer so I'd have more drizzle effect.

The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black using my MISTI so it would be straight and get a good even ink cover. The hearts are cut out with From the Heart Die Set and dotted with a cotton swab dipped in the Mermaid Lagoon spray. Just spray at close range onto an acrylic block or nonporous surface and dip the cotton swab. The hearts have scribbled outlines on them with an extra fine tip Sharpie.

The rest is pretty simple assembly. Trim drizzle background to fit onto an A2 folded card and then scribbled around the edges to complement the hearts and the sentiment is popped up with foam adhesive.
