I wanted to incorporate some mixed media techniques in the card. First I used distress stains to create a background texture on a piece of bristol board. Then I used the Chit Chat stencil and laid down a layer of Gloss Super Heavy Gel. I carefully removed the stencil and pressed the pre-selected hearts and Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers into place and let it all dry. I didn't want the little pieces in the quote bubbles to get covered over with color when I misted and dripped so after the first layer was dry, I carefully replaced the stencil and applied another thin layer of gel to seal them in. After that final layer of gel dried I could have fun dripping and spritzing to accentuate the edges of the quote bubbles.
