I stumbled across a new-to-me Mixed Media Scavenger Hunt Challenge for the month of August #seekgathercreateAugust2024, and decided to join the fun.
I started by combining the first two elements (Gold Paint & Plastic Wrap) to create a GelliArts print.
I've honestly never tried burning anything to make a card before, so I was a bit apprehensive. I tore a few pages out of a vintage repair manual and used water to draw a line down the paper (hoping it would stop the fire should it burn faster than I intended). Thankfully, that worked out very well and I ended-up with two partially burned pages.
I pulled out a kraft tag and attached the burned page and some of my gold Gelliarts Print. Next, I added a few gold paint splatters, and then I used a gold Sharpie marker to add the handwriting element. I just scribbled the alphabet on the tag portion between the two papers. I used some gold thread through the whole at the top of the tag.
For the background I used my first attempt from GelliArts printing the gold paint onto a scrap of designer paper. I distressed & curled one edge. I added a scrap of Alcohol Ink paper that was on the floor leftover from this card, since it was too pretty not to add to the mix.
I finished with a sentiment and airplane from Kaiser Kraft as well as a few more scraps of the gold plastic wrap printed paper to tie the design together.
