Mixed Media Index Cards with a Brusho Background and our new Stencils

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. Today I want to share two icads with a brusho background and flower stamps from Pencil Marks 4 (clear version) and Mix It Up 3. Click continue to watch the process videos.

Mixed Media ATCs with handmade Washi Tape

Hi there, Susanne here! Last saturday I shared a fun video over on my YouTube channel on how to make your own washi tape! All you need it paper activated tape, a gelli plate and of course some stamps! The video is linked in the post! I used the washi tapes to create a mixed media background on the ATCs. The base of the ATCs are made from some old cardboard! This is a great surface to work on and the cardboard gives you some dimension which is quite interesting!

Collage Paper Collection using and Old Book and Stamps

I thought they are perfect to use as collage papers. Click continue for some process videos and more ideas.
