In this tutorial, learn how to mix the cute Destination Fun Collection with an easy mixed media technique to create a card everyone will love.
Hello everyone, Lisanne here with a card, perfect for sunny days. I used the Destination Fun Collection for this card, along with some crackle paste and embossing powder to create a background.
Step 1: Start by die-cutting the base card from Soft Finish Cardstock. I used the inner part of the suitcase as a base. Then, using one of the stencils from Journal Stencils 10, I applied opaque Distress Crackle Paste to the top half only.
Step 2: Immediately sprinkle Distress Embossing Glaze powder over the wet crackle paste.
Step 3: I gently tapped the bottom of the paper to spread the powder.
Step 4: Put the piece of paper aside so the paste can do its work, crack! While it’s drying, die-cut all the other elements needed for the card.
Step 5: After the paste has done its job, it is time to heat the embossing powder. I really love how this worked out.
Step 6: The background is almost done, you can use it as it is, but I like to make it more vintage. I go directly in with my Distress Crayon on top of the paste and spread it out with a wet finger.
Step seven: Next, get your little mouse dressed in her beautiful outfit and coconut drink. The outfit and drink are from the newest dies ‘ Destination Fun’. I colored her with various Distress Ink colors.
Step eight: Adhere a piece of corrugated cardboard and a piece of Patterned paper from the Beautiful Brights paper pad to the lower half of your card. This completes the scene, giving the card a beachy, holiday feel. Glue your mouse and any other decorative elements in place.
Step nine: Create three flowers. Also colored with Distress Ink and some tiny beads to the centers.
Step ten: The flowers are adhered to the top corner with the sentiment ‘ sunshine and smiles’.
Step eleven: To finish, I trimmed a piece of green paper for the back and a piece of kraft cardstock for the card. base.
Thank you so much for joining me for this tutorial. I hope you’ve been inspired by this project and by the Destination Fun Collection.
