Hi there, Susanne here with two mixed media index cards. I used various techniques on the background and 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.

Hi there, Susanne here! I’m sharing a set of two mixed media icads using stencil texture combined with acrylic inks and collage fodder. I am creating a grungy background by combining bright colors with black ink and some stamping. To finish up the cards I use collage fodder made with our Sketchy Leaves stencils and some words from Mix A Sentiment and Mixed Sentiments 1.

Hi there, Susanne here! I have another mixed media Icad to share with you today. As the base I used a background that I’ve made with our Rainbows 1 stencil and Brushos. I covered a part of it loosely with acrylic paint. I love how the colorful background is showing through. For more texture I added some stamping, color splatters and collage before I placed my main images.

Hi there, Susanne here! I’m sharing some mixed media index cards today using a Distress Ink background combinded with flowers from our Pencil Marks 4 stamp set. I love putting flowers into vases. I didn’t want the flowers to have a straight stem, I wanted it to be bend to the sides for some images. Click continue for a quick process video on how I managed to do this.

Hi there, Susanne here! I have an indexcard with Brushos for you today. I love this technique to make a background so much, that I can’t stop doing it. For today’s card I used our Leaves 1 stencil together with the pigment powders to create the background of the card. With this technique I also ended up with a lovely tag background.

Hi there, Susanne here! I have another mixed media Icad to share with you today. I used a gelli print as my base and created a vase with flowers using images from our Doodle Flowers stamp set. I added some glitter paint from DecoArt through the Criss-Cross stencil to pimp the background a little bit. For some more grungy texture I stamped the numbers from Mix It Up 1.

Hi there, Susanne here! I am participating in this years #icad2023 challenge over on instagram. Icad means index card and I am “decorating” one card each day in June and July. I cut my cards from either watercolor or mixed media paper. It’s holds a lot more supplies than a regular index card and I also don’t have index cards at home. For today’s cards I played with watercolors one one and fluid acrylics on the other to create the background. I added some stamping for more texture and interest. For the focal point I adhered images from Sketchy Leaves together with some collage scraps. Click continue to watch the process videos.
