I have two other mixed media Icads to share with you today. I used Brushos on both of the cards to create the background and also the focal image. I added some stamping for more texture to both of them. On my second card I added some extra texture with paste and a piece of gauze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I have linked up a YouTube video at the end of this post where I am sharing how I&#8217;ve done the focal images for these cards. On this one I used our new Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set for texture and also to build my title. I added a little tab to the right side for some extra interest. I am cutting these tabs from small left over paper pieces. They are so nice to use on all kinds of mixed media projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubberdance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AA-461.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This card has not only a bunch of texture I also added some Nuvo Shimmer Powders in addition to the Brushos to give it more interest.

The words, by the way, are embossed in white to black cardstock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"

I am participating in this years #icad2023 challenge over on instagram. Icad means index card and I am &#8220;decorating&#8221; one card each day in June and July. I cut my cards from either watercolor or mixed media paper. It&#8217;s holds a lot more supplies than a regular index card and I also don&#8217;t have index cards at home. For today&#8217;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.
