To the Moon and Back – Mixed Media Card with Stencil Background using Distress Inks

Hello, Samantha here today and because it was Valentine’s Day a few days ago I’m sharing a tutorial showing how I made my version of a Valentine card, I just need someone to send it to! I used four brilliant stamp sets; Celestial, You Rock!, Whimsical Summer and Mix It Up 3 and also the Organic 2 stencil.

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.

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.
