Mixed Media Tags with a grungy Background and Collage Fodder

Hi there, Susanne here with two mixed media index tags. I used various techniques on the background including acrylic paints and some stamping. To finish up the tags I used some stenciled focal images that I made using our Sketchy Leaves 2 Stencil. You will find a full tutorial on these botanical collage pieces at the end of this post.

I cut the tags with a die from Canson XL watercolor paper and threw on some acrylic fluid paints from Daler Rowney. After the paint was dry I added some mixed media stamping with black ink and white acrylic paint. I used stamps from Carved Collection 3, Mixed Media Marks 1 and Mix It Up 1.

I put some more collage papers underneath my focal images to give it something to sit on and added words from Mix A Sentiment 2023. These are embossed with white powder on black cardstock.

Here is a video tutorial on how I made my focal images:

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

xx Susanne
