Hello, Crafty Makers
This card creation continues my efforts to become better at creating mixed-media projects! I want to start art journaling, and the ability to create interesting backgrounds is key. Since card fronts are a more miniature landscape than a journal page, they would be the best place to practice my mixed-media techniques.
I have fallen all the way in love with the technique of using black-and-white stamped images on my colored mixed-media backgrounds! The presentation is dramatic and visually pleasing!
Another "organic" technique I like is adding waxed leather thread to my projects. I have almost 60 rolls of this thread (I use it for bookbinding), and I am always looking for new ways to use it! This particular thread was a perfect match to the Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink! I was also fortunate to find that one of my wallpaper card scraps matched perfectly with the Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide.
