Splash a mixed media card!

Tear up some magazine pages or pattern papers trashed paintings! Cut out, a heart shape with a template so you have a fron and inside shape! Or just go with one shape!!


Gesso the shape and let dry! Arrange the torn paper in a pleasing pattern. Stick it with glue.



 

 

Take a stencil and add modelling paste. When dry, spray them with colour - distress ink, watercolour, distress inks or acrylic paint.

 Take a flower from your stash and some lace and bunch it and stick it with glue


Spray the flower and ribbon with different shades. Lindy's stamp gang, Dylusion sprays  are good with a sheen on them! Once satisfied, touch up edges with Gesso or vintage photo from Tim Holtz distress cubes.Touch up with some colour. If there are splashes accept them as part of the picture or cover with a cut out paper shape stick with washi tape! 

Stick a sentiment if you wish on the inside fold or stamp on cover  a simple word or sentiment!!
