Mixed Media

Paint

Easy

Mixed media is all about combining different materials into one piece of art. Start by adding crayon to your ATC blank, then scrape or brush paint across the surface. Once the paint begins to dry, layer on recycled paper, magnetic tape, stickers, embellishments, or anything else included in your kit. There is no right order or single way to create mixed media artwork, so experiment freely and see what unique combinations you discover.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back of your card and fill it out.)
