I'm always fascinated with mixed media projects. The textures and colors always make for interesting designs. Hi, it's Amy Tsuruta and if you've been following me, you know that I'm a clean and simple designer. I'm always envious of the designers that can really pull together a mixed media cards. Here's how I was inspired:
I combined the following products:
I started off with a watercolor panel. I used my glass mat to pounce Distress Oxide - Tea Dye ink and then sprayed it with a bit of water. I 'smooshed' the watercolor panel into the ink puddles until I was happy with the coverage and dried it using a heat tool.
I love the new Rattan Stencil. It reminds me when I was in elementary school and for some reason I always wanted one of those large rattan chairs. You know the ones, right? The ones that look horribly uncomfortable to actually sit in? I love the stencil with white paste on the Tea Dye.
The Gardenia image was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor markers and a blender pen. I always love the soft look of this technique.
I finished off my project with a sentiment from the Decaf Background set. To coordinate with my card, I went ahead and did the same process with the Tea Dye ink on the sentiment as I did with the base panel.
Thanks for stopping by today!
