ATCs made with Cardboard and Collage

Hi there, Susanne here! I’m sharing an ATC trio today made with a cardboard base. Cardboard works great for artist trading cards and it’s a good way to upcycle stuff, you wood normally throw in the bin. I added some collage and stenciling on the background, added some more markmaking and a focal image from our Pencil Marks 5 stamps. Click continue for a full video tutorial.

Index Card with Distress Ink Background and Pencil Marks 4

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.

Mixed Media Index Cards with Sketchy Leaves Stencil and Brusho Background

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.
