I have never done a mixed media type card before, so when I saw this pin I decided to give it a try. I don't like dealing with acrylic paint if I can avoid it, so I did my card using distress inks and some watercolour. It is the story of my bird CC and each addition to my card means something related to her, all of which is explained on my blog. I have more information, including a picture of CC on my blog.
Thank you for looking.

I like this done with the inks instead of acrylics because I agree completely with you, too messy and too much dry time than I like. I am a 10 minute a card kind of girl, so that is why paint, fancy folds and lots of measuring are not a part of my style. I do love collages and yours is a beauty!!
