Mixed Media Corrugated Cardboard Stamped Art

Hello everyone!  One of the other challenges in my online stamping group was do to a technique with corrugated cardboard, acrylic paint and stamping.  You can see the basic technique in this YouTube video.

I decided to throw the kitchen sink at this, and made a piece of Mixed Media home decor.  I know this is not what I usually post, but I just adore this style.  And I get to use a bunch of stuff in my stash!

Here is a photo of this background (and a spare) before I did the stamping on it.  If you try this watch out!  You might just get addicted! (Also, a tip, using a brayer to apply the paint instead of a brush is faster and more even.)

Home Decor Stamping Project

Hello all!  I have a very different project to share today. I found this Pocket Frame at Tuesday Morning.  It has a magnetic removable top, so you can slide artwork in and out of the frame.  I thought I would make a little stamped piece to display on my stamp desk.  

I started with a sheet of pattern paper that had a few element of a post card on it.  I did some stamping in the background with pool and tan dye inks.  I then stamped onto coordinating patterned papers with the antique tomb fragment and then sculpted bird and fussy cut them.

The one thing I learned with this project is that although I did use foam tape for some elements, it does not look very dimensional in the frame.  The next artwork I do, I will know that I can make it much much more dimensional.  

This was a really fun project!  I will be displaying it for a while, but I am already looking forward to making another one!
