Mixed Media Background ~ November Challenge ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!
Today I'm sharing one last card for the November Build Your Holiday Stash Challenge in the Unity Show & Tell. A beautiful mixed media card featuring the wonderful Good Tidings to You stamp! 


Sometimes it just feels good to get inky... know what I mean?! The mixed media background for this card was so fun to create. A bit of heat embossing, some oxide ink smooshing and I finished it off with dry embossing with an embossing folder.


The background was also die cut with the largest dies from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies}. And then adhered to a kraft A2 top fold card base.


The poinsettia was stamped with Black Amalgam ink and then colored with the following Copic markers:

Poinsettia ~ RV10, RV21, RV14, RV29, Y11, Y15, Y28
Leaves ~ YG11, YG23
Pine Needles ~ YG11, G24, G46
Tiny Leaves ~ YG11, G24


The beautiful sentiment is the recently released Greetings of the Season {die set}. I die cut it from green card stock three times and then once from pink card stock. The 'merry' is three layers of green card stock adhered together and then adhered to the kraft outline die cut. The 'christmas' is two bottom layers of green card stock and then a pink layer on top. Such a fun way to mix it up!

  1. Crystal, thanks for the video! I loved that you embossed the background word stamp and then ran it through with an embossing folder to add the texture. I am going to try that very soon! Thanks for your continued inspiration! ❤️
