Pretty Mixed Media Card by Cheiron Brandon featuring NEW Tim Holtz idea-ology Blue Palette Paper!
Hi friend! Happy Monday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Cheiron Brandon as our guest today showcasing the newly released Blue Palette Paper collection from Tim Holtz idea-ology! Read on and enjoy!
Hi there, it’s Cheiron Brandon with another fun card project for you using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Palette Paper Collection. Today I am using the new Blue collection to create my card. To create the foundation of my card, I selected 3 fun papers from the 8 x 8 size pack to work with. When selecting papers for a card, I like to choose a big bold print like this one with the brushstrokes for my base and then something in a different color with a much smaller print to coordinate with it. For this card, I picked a lighter blue with a script. I inked the edges of the large panel with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink, then adhered the panel to my card base.
For the script panel, I cut it out with the Simon Says Stamp Nested Domed Arches. I inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink and then adhered it to the card with foam tape to pop it up. Then I took out the Paper Doll and Palette Ephemera too look through it to pick some pieces that would coordinate with my card. I layered some of the Ephemera and then decided to add some color to the Paper Doll using Distress Watercolor Pencils and a Tim Holtz Detailer water brush. I picked up pigment from the Faded Jeans pencil with my water brush and colored in the dress of the Paper Doll. I added the Paper Doll to the card using some foam tape.
I placed the remaining ephemera onto my card, then I used Picket Fence Distress Paint and a paintbrush to add splatter to the entire card, being careful not to get it on the face of the Paper Doll or the sentiment. I hope you had fun creating this collage style card with me. These beautiful patterned papers make it so easy to add layers and texture!

amazing project
Oh wow I just love this – can’t wait to get the blue papers
Beautiful card! I love how you layered these papers and the color palette is just stunning. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cheiron always creates such gorgeous mixed media pieces! The new Tim Holtz blue palette paper pairs beautifully with her layered approach. Mixed media cards have such rich texture and depth that makes them little works of art. The way she balances all the different elements without overwhelming the design is truly a skill. So inspiring!
