Layered Love: A Mixed Media Card with PaperArtsy Mattints

 

Hello, crafty friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m diving into some mixed media fun with PaperArtsy Mattints and my Gel Press plate. These Mattints in The Pink and Jam create the most gorgeous, subtle hues—perfect for building soft yet dynamic backgrounds.

 

After pulling my print, I added a bold touch using the AALL & Create Hearts stamp with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, heat embossing it for extra dimension and shine. To enhance the background even further, I stamped with an older AALL & Create set, similar to the Visual Dream set, in VersaFine Clair Charming Pink—adding layers of dreamy texture. I used the PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in Bubble Gum to add color to my hearts.

To bring everything together, I hand-drew a simple frame to give the design a finished, artistic touch. I love how this card turned out—soft yet full of depth, perfect for sending a little extra love!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you a creative and inspiring weekend.

Happy crafting!
