I love to use kraft cardstock in my projects. I went through my scrap box and found a white card I had previously gold embossed hearts on. This was the start of a fun mixed media project that used kraft paper for the base.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30-45 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Find a scrap project to play with. Here I had a leftover scrap from embossing, so the hearts were already there. Drizzle Lilac Posies irRESISTible onto the card. Let sit a moment and wipe off with a damp towel.

Step 2

Using direct-to-paper method, add pigment inks in colors of choice to the card front until covered. Add texture by stamping a pattern using Memento Rich Cocoa.

Step 3

Attach newspaper scraps with On Point Glue.

Step 4

Splatter with irRESISTible Wedding Dress and Tuxedo Black. Let dry.

Step 5

Mix white paint with a small amount of water. Use a paintbrush to add random circles. Let dry.

Step 6

Mix VersaMagic in Tea Leaves with water and uses a paintbrush to add scribbles on top of white circles.

Step 7

With StazOn Jet Black add random stamping. Use scissors to cut circles and leaves from the mixed media piece.

Step 8

Adhere circles and leaves to kraft card front using On Point Glue. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Marker to add doodles. Stamp ‘Thanks’ with StazOn ink.
