Mixed Media Magic with Gel Prints and PaperArtsy Stamps

 

Hello creative friends! 🎨 Ericka from Strangely Creative here and this week we’re diving into one of my absolute favorite art styles Mixed Media! Mixed media art combines multiple mediums to create rich textures, layers, and dimension… and for today’s project, I couldn’t resist pulling out one of my gel press backgrounds from my stash.

 

I thought this would be the perfect base for my card! To start, I reached for my PaperArtsy Seth Apter mini stamps and used white pigment ink with clear embossing powder. The combination added such beautiful texture and subtle shine, a perfect foundation for what came next.

 

Next, I stamped the PaperArtsy Tracy Scott 39 stamp on another gel press print and clear embossed it for even more dimension. I fussy-cut the image and attached it to my background using foam tape to create some lift and shadow.

 

To finish things off, I added a hand-drawn border and a fun sentiment from AALL & Create Ephemera Die Cuts – Funny Bone Funnies. I love how this brought the entire design together with a playful twist!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope this inspires you to dig into your stash and make some mixed media magic of your own this weekend!
