{Mixed Media Tutorial} Grace Notes Artist Trading Card by Tanja

Hi there, it's Tanja here and I would like to show you how to create this Mixed Media Artist Trading Card step by step:

• cut out an ATC from watercolor paper using the CUTplorations ATC/Tag Builder die set
• add color to the background with Distress Oxide Inks (Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon) and a blending Brush
• add water for more texture

• add some left-over alcohol-inked Yupo strips

• grunge up the edges with a black Stabilo All pencil and a wet watercolor brush

• apply Light Paste through the ARTplorations Shutters Mini stencil
• and add more texture with white Heavy Gesso
• let both layers dry thoroughly 

• adhere a piece of burlap, Sari Silk ribbon and a photo with the help of hot glue

• add a sentiment sticker to the top left corner

I hope you got inspired.



Hugs,
