One of the sweetest bloggers on the block is celebrating a birthday... Anne or Redanne as you may know her, is a die hard sea lover and I wanted to create a special card just for her with her favorite icon, the seahorse.
Happy happy birthday Anne! May you have many many happy days and years ahead. You brighten the world with your sweet spirit and creative mind. I am so happy to call you a friend. <3
This map stamp and ship are umpteen years old, and the gears were gifted to me by Anne.
I know this card may seem simple, but I created a video tutorial to practice my video editing skills. I appreciate the sweet comments and suggestions from my first videos and put those into play this time. Thank you for your comment love! Please let me know anything that would make the video better.

Hello Autumn: I'm astonished at the beauty of this card, I've always wanted to learn how to make a card with mixed media like yours but I have not clue as to how to start but now, thanks to your awesome video, I'm going to start practicing.
ReplyDeleteYour friend is one lucky lady, this card is gorgeous in every single way, all of the details, color and texture are mixed beautifully.
Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber for our Summer challenge, we hope you play again next time.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteLOVED watching your video Autumn and WOW - just the PERFECTLY SPLENDID card for Anne. Such a GORGEOUS BLEND of colors and SUPER arrangement of all your embellies. INCREDIBLE gift - the card and your creativity! Xj.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so gorgeous! Love all the layers. Great video and loved the close ups. It would be helpful to have either a list of supplies on blog post or on the video.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love everything on this card, from the background map through the gears covered with gauze and the pretty crackled seahorse! Thank you for joining us over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Hugs, Marzena
ReplyDeleteI knew Redanne would love this. All of the texture, the gorgeous shimmery colors - totally right up her alley! AMAZING as usual!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Autumn, I absolutely adore the wonderful background and fantastic seahorse xxx
ReplyDeleteWow is the word that springs to mind here Autumn! What an amazing mixed media piece of art you've created here. So many different elements all working together in perfect harmony to create such an amazing finished product. Your video tutorial is outstanding and I been mesmerized watching it, seeing how your project progressed from it's beginning to it's end. Thank you for joining us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges.

ReplyDeleteI love your card, Autumn! Anne is very lucky to receive this beautiful card from you :-) You know I always comment on your awesome stamps and these stamps are no exception. I love your blues and greens which makes the white elements pop. Your seahorse is so adorable! I also used the nautical theme for my Tim tag that I completed this week, but still need to post. I might be tagging on to some of those challenges you entered - LOL! I did like your video and enjoyed seeing your process, but at the speed it was hard to tell the products you were using. I'm sure you were trying to fit it all in within the allotted time frame from You Tube. One more thing - I am hoping at some point to hear you narrating your videos. Would love to hear your Southern accent! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteAutumn, this is one gorgeous card to celebrate the sea! Beautiful serene colors and wonderful layers. I love how you combined the cheesecloth with the gears and ship! Great crackly seahorse!! thanks so much for joining us in our summer challenge at SASPC! hugs, Maura
ReplyDeleteIncredible! Love the elements at play with this and the ocean scene is perfect for our summer theme. Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber and look forward to seeing you in our gallery again soon.
ReplyDeleteLoving the crackle texture on the seahorse and really enjoyed the video! YT seems to have removed your soundtrack - they do that automatically when you use copyrighted music. They did that to some of my personal videos that weren't even listed!
ReplyDeleteWOW! A stunning piece of art! Gorgeous colors and texture. I will definitely take the time to watch your video and appreciate the time taken to share with us. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with Retro Rubber in mind. Hope to see you often in our gallery...

This is just beautiful, and I can tell how much Anne treasures it by her comment above. My apologies for being so late. Long story, but it started with a week in W. Va! I'm going to try and watch your video without waking the rest of the family! Big hugs!
