It's been a while since I've pulled out my texture pastes and gesso so I thought it would be fun to make a grungy mixed media Christmas card for you today.
I used a large tag and adhered rice paper to it using some matt medium as a glue. I painted over the image on the rice paper with some gesso and wiped the excess off to give a dull muted effect. I stamped a Christmas script in blue randomly over the tag then stenciled the stars using light modeling paste. When the paste was dry I stenciled the Christmas Ornament again in the light modeling paste. Light modeling paste when it dries can be coloured with watercolour paints. I used Finetec metallic paints for the ornament and the stars. I stamped the holly sprig and coloured it using Posca acrylic pens and added some glossy accent to the red berries. Before attaching the tag to the card base I used the Christmas script along the edge.
I hope you like my grungy Christmas card 😀
