Sweet as Honey | Mixed Media Thursday

August 22, 2024 - by Natasha Vacca

Sweet as Honey | Mixed Media Thursday

Hello Crafty friends, today I am up on the blog sharing a fun and easy mixed media project!  I had fun combining a couple of mediums, distress inks, and watercolor pencils to create a floral card using the Sweet as Honey stamp set!  So let’s get started!

I started with a piece of Canson XL watercolor cardstock slightly larger than an A2 panel.  I stamped the Sweet as Honey stamp set onto the watercolor paper using Distress Ink.  I added the ink directly to the stamp, then spritzed the stamp with water, then stamped the floral onto my paper.  I also added a bit more water to the panel to create more texture in the ink.  I wanted that loose/messy watercolor look.  I followed the same process for the stamping of the floral images.  I allowed the panel to completely dry.

Once the panel was dry, I colored the floral and leaf images using Distress watercolor pencils. I used a water brush and applied the color from the brush to my paper.  I continued to build layers of color, allowing each layer to dry between colors.

Once the watercolor was complete, I chose a stencil from my stash.  I added the distress watercolors to my stencil in the same way as I did above (using a water brush).  I then lightly spritzed the stencil with water and placed the stencil directly onto my card panel.  I loved the subtle color and texture the stencil provided.  I repeated this process a few times.  Next I added some text from the Eiffel Grunge stamp set.  I stamped using distress inks, as well as a light spritz of water.

I completed the card by distrtessing the edges, adhering the panel to a top folding card base, as well as a few splatters, and sequins to complete the card!  I chose a sentiment from the Sweet as Honey stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I will be back next week!
