Mixed Media Black & White

Hi y'all! Lydia here! I'm playing along with today's Mix-Ability Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoast today, so I'm sharing a mixed media post with you today. One of the things I love about art journaling is how tape is always used to create texture in the background, so that's what I did here today with my favorite tape - the 1/4" white crepe tape. More details on how I created this card today at this blog post.

You are beautiful

Hello friends! Giovana here today bringing you a super easy technique to create a super cool background. 

For this technique I used 1/8" black crepe tape and 1/16" gold metallic tape. 

Here I used a piece of white cardstock, size 3.75" x 5", I started adhering the 1/8" black crepe tape and then 1/16" gold metallic tape, then I left about .5" space and repeated the process.

I stamped a sentiment , added a die-cut word and flowers from Concord & 9th  and the card was done!! 

Here you can see the tape colors showing much better.

Hope you like it.

Have a fantastic day!!

Weathered Boards with Rainbow Tape by Lydia Fiedler

Hi there! Lydia here with a fun mixed media project.

The crepe tape has a texture that looks great under paint. As I was playing with it, I thought it might be fun to see if I could get it to look like weathered boards. I can never resist a technique that creates the look of wood.

To achieve this look, I first adhered the 1/4" crepe tape to the cardstock, leaving a gap between the "boards". Then I covered the entire panel with warm white acrylic paint. When that was dry, I rubbed Marina Mist ink in the gaps for that weathered, seaside look. I finished the card with an anchor image from the Guy Greetings stamp set, some Night of Navy twin, and a die cut sentiment with the Sunshine Wishes thinlets and copper foil sheets.
