Fun with Mixed Media

Hi friends, 

Papertrey Ink is hosting a summer challenge, and the requirement is to use PTI products featuring three techniques: ink blending, die-cut layering, and stenciling. This challenge gave me the perfect chance to dive into mixed media, and surely I had a blast. I wish the camera was able to capture the beautiful #nuvo shimmer.

Products used:

#papertreyink inks (Tropic Teal, New Leaf & Fresh Snow)

#papertreyink stamps (Doodlie-Do- leaves, flowers & Woodblock Prints- dots)

#papertreyink die (Coverplate Circles- die cut was used as a stencil & Just for You)

#nuvo shimmer powder(Falling Leaves & Atlantis Burst)

watercolor paper & gems

I started by inking the watercolor paper randomly with two inks. After spritzing some water and adding shimmer powders, there was a magical transformation. (See pics below) This was followed by stamping leaves and dots, then stencilling large half circles & diamond shapes using a die cut. After stamping some flowers in white, the entire panel was generously splattered with white paint. Finished off with a layered die-cut sentiment for dimension and lots of gems.

Have a great day!
