Spellbinders – Artomology Collection by Jane Davenport

Hello! Today I am delighted to be sharing two cards featuring die sets from Spellbinders Artomology Collection by Jane Davenport – Marcia’s Makeover and Tousled. The Artomology Collection by Jane Davenport brings her iconic faces, fantasy creatures and quirky quotes to life! Keeping to my style, I used the die sets to create CAS mixed media cards. Let’s take a look.

My first card, measuring 5″ x 7″, features the Marcia’s Makeover die set and the Birthday Suit Pallette Pastel set, a palette of 18 colors housed in a custom case.

• To create the card, I cut the detailed die and the collar from white cardstock to use as stencils.
• I secured the stencils to white cardstock and applied the colors for Marcia’s hair, skin, and blouse to the white cardstock using the pastels in the set. I wanted to get the approximate location for the various colors.
• I removed the stencil and filled in areas of the same color with sponge daubers knowing that I would cut the detailed piece as an overlay.
• I cut the detailed piece from black cardstock and heat-embossed the sentiment – “Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.” I trimmed the panel to 5″ x 7″.
• I sprayed adhesive on the back of the black piece and adhered it to the white cardstock on which I had applied the pastels.
• I cut the sunglasses from cardstock colored with the pastels and added “glass” cut from an acrylic sheet to the frames.
• I added the panel to a 5″ x 7″ card base. For embellishment, I cut flowers and foliage with dies in the same set from white cardstock colored with pastels in the pallette.

My second card, A-2-sized, features the Tousled die set combined with a digitally-created background and  sentiment. On this card, I used the inlaid technique.

• I digitally created and printed the background and “Chasing Dreams” sentiment on white cardstock.
• I cut black cardstock with the Tousled die to work as the frame.
• I cut cardstock colored with pink ink for the hair with the Tousled die and added the pieces to the frame, securing the pieces with tape on the back.
• I cut cardstock colored with the a skin tone in the Pallette Pastel set for the face and added the pieces to the frame, securing with tape on the back.
• I cut cardstock colored with teal ink for the eyes and added the pieces to the frame. There were several places in the eyes where I inlaid white cardstock as well.
• I added the assembled face to the card base with foam adhesive.
