Mixed Media Index Card with Stencil Texture and Sketchy Leaves

Hi there, Susanne here with a mixed media index card using a textured stencil background combined with watercolor pencils (actually I used ink-pencils, Derwent Inktense), some mixed media background stamping and one of our Sketchy Leaves stamps as focal image.

I cut this card (3.5″ x 5″) from heavy weight watercolor cardboard and applied the stencil texture with heavy gesso. After this was dry I used Derwent Inktense pencils to bring in some color. For a grungy look I used Derwent Charcoal as well. To highlight some of the stencil texture I am slighly going over with my finger and a tiny amount of the gesso again. To bring in even more texture I used stamps from our Mix It Up 1 and and Mixed Media Marks 1 sets. The words are from our Mix A Sentiment stamp set.

I embossed one of the images from Sketchy Leaves and kept it black and white, as the background was already so colourful. I adhered it on top of some collage bits and pieces together with some curled black thread.

I hope I could inspire you, thanks for stopping by today!

xx Susanne
