Mixed media index cards tutorial

V Tediju sem kupila indeks karte, odločila sem se da jih preizkusim, z igranjem mešane tehnike in če sploh prenesejo toliko packanja :) Prvo sem izbrala 3 različne barve in jih nanesla na kartico.

I bought this index cards and I wanted to try if they are good for mixed media. First, I choose 3 colors and add them to the card.
 

Na določena mesta sem dodala nekaj Gesso-ta.

On some areas I added some Gesso.
 

Nato sem uporabila različne štampiljke in šablone, večina od njih sem naredila sama. Pri tem koraku nisem preveč razmišljala in sem vse skupaj počela zelo naključno.

I then used some stamps and stencils, most of them I made myself. I didn't think too much where to add anything I just played.

Rada uporabim papir na katerega brišem ostanke barve ali pa ga uporabim kot paleto, saj s tem dobim zanimive vzorce, ki ga lahko uporabim pri drugih projektih.

I love to use my drop paper, I add it as another element of the mixed media and it adds some interest.

S črno akrilno barvo sem obrobila kartico in dodala washi trak.

With black acrylic paint I outline the card and use some washi tape.
 

Zadnji korak pa je najzanemivejši od vseh, saj potegnem na plano bel gel kemik in črne alkoholne flomastre raznih debelin in dodam nekaj čačk. Dodam tam kjer se mi zdi da manjka in ponavadi dodam zvezde, kroge ali črte.

The last step is the most interesting because I can doodle with my white gel pen and some permanent black pens. I add doodles there where I think it is needed, most of the time I doodle stars, circles and lines.

Tukaj so še ostale kartice. Lahko jih uporabim namesto čestitke, kratkih sporočilc ali pa jih dodam v art dnevnik.

Here are some cards that I made. I can use it instead of cards, write short messages or use it in my art journal.
