About this class

Build rich, multi-textured card fronts with bold mixed-media techniques

Ready to push your craft supplies past their traditional limits? Let's Mix It Up With Media! Join us for a hands-on exploration where you will layer texture pastes, pigment inks, artist markers, and watercolor washes to craft rich, tactile card fronts full of artistic flair.

  • Apply dimensional texture paste through stencils without bleeding or smudging
  • Layer translucent watercolor washes over crisp pigment ink impressions safely
  • Prepare cardstock surfaces properly to handle wet mediums without warping
  • Add artistic splatters, metallic accents, and vintage distressing to card backgrounds
