Gentleman's Emporium Mixed Media Card - Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anet here today 

and welcome to my inspiration post

for the Couture Creations Blog.

I have created a masculine Mixed Media Card
with the new release Gentleman's Emporium Collection

from Couture Creations. 

Step by step instructions:

1.Trim Cypress Pine Cardstock to 15.2cm x 21cm, 
score and fold card base.
Cut watercolour cardstock to 11.8cm x 15.6cm.

2. I then created a mixed media background on watercolour cardstock.
I used Gesso, Texture Paste and Stencils.

Stamped the Gentleman's Emporium Gentleman's Timepiece Stamp
randomly with pigment ink.

Coloured the background with Distress Oxide.

3. Dry brush with gold and silver Acrylic Paint.

Adhere onto card front.

4. Adhere Gentleman's Emporium Ephemera 
onto card front using 3D foam dots.

5. Foil Cypress Pine Cardstock with
Gentleman's Emporium Pocket Watch Cut, Foil and Emboss Die.

Adhere onto card front using 3D foam dots.

6. Cut, Emboss and Ink Cypress Pine Cardstock with 
Gentleman's Emporium Boutonniere Cut, Foil and Emboss Die.

Adhere onto card front to finish.
