Reason to Smile

   I was over at the Topflight Stamps blog sharing this colorful mixed media card that's perfect for any occasion. I'll walk you through the steps...

I've gotten a lot of use out of the AALL & Create "Filaments and Feathers" stamp set! This time I used the beautiful lightbulb stamp for this card. Here's how I created it:

First I put some Zesty Zing paint on my craft mat and sprayed it with water. I then sprayed my mixed media paper with water and dipped it on the pool of paint...

Once the paint dried, I added the stencil Paper Artsy PS310 using Bougainvillea paint.

I then stamped the lightbulb onto the panel and also splattered some Glimmer Mist in Bronze Penny.

I stamped the lightbulb a second time on white cardstock and colored with Polychromos pencils. I fussy cut the main portion of the image and added it to the panel with foam adhesive.

The panel is complete and ready for a card base! This card came together really quickly and will be easy to recreate. Thanks for joining!
