Hello everyone, I have another card to share this week, this one very mixed media and my favourite of those I created for the One Day Special last December. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Here's what I did:

I first made my background with a piece of mixed media paper which I painted with a dusky pink shade made by mixing magenta, orange and white together - this may seem strange but the orange really helps to achieve a more antique shade of pink.

I then used the gorgeous mandala stencil with teal and white to add a pattern in the centre of the pink paper. I stamped script in the corners with Archival Potting Soil ink for added interest.

I next used a white/greyboard artist trading card to make a background panel for the mannequin I intended to add. I painted the panel with teal, yellow and white then used the mandala stencil again with a slightly deeper shade of dusky pink to add the pattern.

I used the mannequin stencil on mixed media paper with teal and chestnut brown paints to create the shape and then cut the resulting image out. I rounded it out with a large embossing ball tool and tweaked the colours a little to add more life to the shape. I then added it to the panel with silicone glue for depth.
