  For today's post I created four Mixed Media Background Collage Cards! I created a masterboard with collaging different elements to a piece of paper that measured 30 by 30 centimeters approximately. The  HOW TO : Adhere elements like fussycut stamped images (flowers and leaves), but also book paper and some colored imagery (mostly green leaves).   Stamp with Mixed Media or flower stamps in the background. Apply gesso over the elements partially with a palette knife using gesso.  Spray with green and orange spray inks to merge all the of elements to a cohesive background.  Tear four pieces from this masterboard to fit the four card bases.   Adhere fussycut stamped images, stamp postage stamps and fussycut stamped torn pieces of postage tickets to finish each card off.   See you next time!  Rubber Dance Stamps: The Rubber Dance Webshop Mixed Media Marks #3  Grungy Butterflies Textured Birds Flowers Gone Wild Textured M...

Hello Rubber Dance Friends, I'm sharing a trio of Mixed Media Tags with you.  I created three tags from gel prints, it's easy as pie with a die-cut. I then worked on them with texture paste and a stencil.  Since I like butterflies, I used them twice here. Once as black and white and then as a gel print on acetate. I then sewed the butterflies onto the tags.  Dunja   ( Blog  |  Instagram  |  Facebook ) Grungy Butterflies Grungy Butterflies 2022 (Clear - 0013) Mixed Media Marks #2 Journal Words   Rubber Dance links: Website Facebook Pinterest Blog Instagram YouTube

 Hello lovlies, so nice to be here on the blog again. This time it was a bit hard for me to get foccused. But once started I was in the flow and forgot about all this overloaded feeling about all this thing happening in the world currently. Art is therapy for, does it help you too? So lets get started... First I started stamping a butterfly from the I nky Butterfly , the grungy Butterfly # 1 and the grungy butterfly #2 . For colouring I used my favourite medium, the alcohol markers. I kept the colour scheme on the butterflies in violet, purple, pink. So kept it for the background, using some distress oxides. So that the background don't look that flat I added some modelling paste through a stencil. As the next step I took a slimline card base in a violet colour to match my slightly monochromatic colour scheme, trimmed the background to a card panel size so that there will be a frame aroud it and glued it onto the cardbase.  The butterflies were glued down on top of the stenci...
