Print Project

Step 1

Squeeze dots of paint across the top of the mixed media paper.

Step 2

Using scraper tools, start at the top of the paper and scrape the paint down the paper in one pulling down motion. If your paint dots are wider than your scraper, wipe off the tool and repeat in the next section until all the paint across the top of your paper has been scraped to the bottom. Let dry.
TIP: You can use a squeegee or even an old gift card as a scraper tool.

Step 3

Cut yellow cardstock to 10" x 7" [25.4 cm x 17.8 cm], then score and fold down to 5" x 7" [12.7 cm x 17.8 cm] to make the card.

Step 4

Trim pink cardstock to 4½" x 6½" [11.4 cm x 16.5 cm] and adhere to the card front, then trim the orange cardstock to 4¼" x 6¼" [10.8 cm x 15.9 cm] and adhere to the pink cardstock.

Step 5

Finally, trim a section of the painting to 4" x 6" [10.2 cm x 15.2 cm] and adhere to the orange cardstock.

Step 6

Stamp your sentiment onto a piece of aqua cardstock, them trim out the strip to fit onto the front of the card.
TIP: Make a belly band with the stamped sentiment by wrapping it around the card and adhering the strip together at the back or use this same technique on a canvas!
