Mixed Media Cards by Steph

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a set of mixed media cards.

Congratulations-clearscraps-stencils-steph-ackerman

Last month, I created a mixed media project using the 6" Shiplap and 6" Wood Grain stencils. Rather than clean the stencils immediately, I turned them over and rubbed the excess modeling paste onto cardstock releasing the remaining modeling paste. Then I cleaned the stencils.  It may look like a mess, but follow along as I show you how I created my cards.

I cut the panels into 5 1/2" squares then added color with spray inks. After spraying each color I heat set the color before spraying the next color.

Once I liked the colors, the panels were matted with white cardstock and wrapped with white ribbon before being added to the cards.

Using Spellbinders dies, I die cut cardstock elements for the card.

Joy Clair stamps were used for the center of the card.

The elements were added to the card with foam adhesives.
