This is the fourth part in a 30 part series showing you different mixed media cards that I have made. These will all include video tutorials and I am hoping that you will get some great ideas and make your own mixed media cards for all occasions.
The intention is that you can make your cards using the craft supplies that you already have at home. Take my ideas and adapt them to what you have right now. So, let’s get started.

You will need:
- Piece of card or card blank
- Glue stick
- Pretty Paper
- Watercolour paint (or ink pad / coloured pencils)
- Printable Greeting (free, see below)
- Small Sticky Pads
Simple Instructions
- Select your pretty paper (or papers)
- Choose either some ink pads or paint (I used watercolours). Apply your chosen colours to the front of the card. I like to dab it on with a brush and allow it to look textured by using different amounts of water in the paint to get different colours and depths of colour. Let it dry.
- Tear or cut your pretty paper(s) and create your design on the front of the card.
- Glue them in place using your glue stick (or whatever glue you prefer)
- I have then added some more splodges of paint to merge the paper in with the background.
- I have not added a greeting but I will when I decide who I am sending it to.
- You are finished!
