Mixed media looks complicated. It isn't. You just have to layer it in the right order. ð
In this tutorial I'm walking you through how to combine watercolor, stamping, texture paste, and die cutting on one card without it turning into a muddy mess. This is the exact order I use when I want a card that feels detailed and dimensional but still clean.
You'll learn:
How to start with a watercolor background that won't fight your other layers
Where stencils and texture paste belong in the stack
When to stamp (and when to wait)
How to add die cut elements last for that finished, dimensional look
If you've been wanting to try mixed media but didn't know where to start, this is your one card, one layer at a time entry point.
