Jeans Birthday Card

Hello, my friends!

I am back again :) with a mixed media card I created for my dear wonderful friend and a teamie Pamellia for her birthday which is today :)

Happy Birthday, my sweet friend!



I wanted to create a kind of a grunge elegance so I used a piece of jeans fabric, added some stitching using my sewing machine and some white gesso through the Tim Holtz's stencil. Then I started to add some metal elements, some lace,  wooden pieces, 3D art stones, flat back pearls,  buttons and such. 


I covered everything with white gesso and used a lot of different acrylic paints, pastes, inks and mica powders to achieve some rust/patina effect. 


I glued down the whole piece to my craft card base using my 3D gel.

I hope Pamellia is going to like this card.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving lovely comments! I read and appreciate each and every one of them!

Hugs! Branka xx

    Oh, I'm sure Pamellia can't put this down! Love this rusted patina on this and all of your embellishments! The stenciling on the background is wonderful and using the denim fabric as your substrate is a genius move! Big hugs to you!
