Papericious: Easy Mixed Media Cards

Hello everyone,

Sunila and Aditi here to share a few mixed media ideas. Mixed media is all about layers, and it isn't as complex as it appears to be.

Today we'll share some ideas of using the Papericious Decoupage Papers and Mixed Media Mediums together and create two cards.

Here's the first card:

For this card, we first cut out the image of the girl from the decoupage paper. On a piece of watercolour paper, we first misted it with water and added yellow and black paint randomly. We then placed the image of the girl and using a stencil sprayed pink colour. We then added some stamping randomly with purple colour. We used decoupage glue to adhere the image onto the background and completed it by adding a sentiment. You could mount this on a cardstock base as a card or leave it as it is as a Journal Page. Here are some close-ups:

Onto the next one now. For this piece, we first tore the coordinating decoupage paper randomly and using decoupage glue stuck it onto white cardstock. We then gave it a layer of watery white gesso and dried it. Next, we mixed two paints with modelling paste and added texture using a stencil. Next, we added some splatter with the pink spritz. We coloured a pattern chipboard with the same paints and layered some lace and flowers. We completed it with a sentiment and some sequins.
