This is somewhat of a hot mess but that's a "cheaters" karma. I could not make a good impression doing the "mirror, mirror" challenge so I had this fabulous idea to stamp with Surfacez ink onto white tissue paper and easily reverse the image...well that worked...but it's kinda cheating so I guess I'm telling on myself. The tissue paper is actually pretty transparent on the piece once it's glued down. I created a collage of different papers and some random piece of tissue I had. After sealing everything down with matte medium I used acrylic paint for the flowers. I also added some stenciling with gold embossing paste and a reinker cap made my circles with white paint. My "spring" stamping is with black acrylic paint sponged onto the word stamp. TYFL

What a fabulous mixed media card! I love your poppies, and also the collaged background. The gold embossing paste looks fab, too. I don't see a hot mess here at all, just a cool card .
