Welcome to Day 4 of 20 Days of Creative Play!
In today’s video, we’re using a brayer with sprays to build smooth, blended layers for mixed media and card making backgrounds. This technique is perfect if you love working with sprays but want a little more control and a softer, more cohesive look.
Brayered color is a great way to roll on ink or spray color evenly, reduce harsh edges, and build layers without overworking your background. It’s one of those techniques that feels simple but makes a big difference in how your backgrounds come together.

![TRY This Instead! Texture Paste Over Color! Day 7!

Download the free guide with all 20 daily prompts here:
👉 https://tiffanysolorio.myflodesk.com/20daysofcreativeplay2026
In today’s mixed media tutorial, we’re adding texture paste after color to create layered backgrounds with more depth, dimension, and visual interest. This simple order change is an easy way to transform your mixed media and card making backgrounds using supplies you already have.
Instead of applying paste first, we’re layering it on top of our sprayed background to add texture and detail as a finishing touch. It’s amazing how one small switch can give you a completely different look.
This prompt is all about experimenting, trusting the process, and discovering new ways to use your stash.
