Mixed Media Collage Card

I am working to overcome my phobia of cardmaking....so I used some mixed media and collage techniques to make it easier. I ended up with a fun card that would make a great Mother's Day Card

Funny! I'm comfortable with cards but just now trying collages! So I will take your challenge and do more collages -- maybe even on a card. TFS.

Which ink won't smear when you put modge podge on it? Thanks!

@frostynature Oh you will have so much fun!  I used Stazon ink for stamping when I am going to use mod podge...it won't run!

@amandalizd I am still in the process of learning how to do cards...so I just used some techniques that I was comfortable with -- like collage to help me stop being such a "scaredy cat!" Thanks for stopping by...

I think one lesson here is in doing the whole collage sheet. You then have more options to pick from. You could make a gift box that would be gorgeous! And I like the idea of using the wall paper. A surface I forgot about to use. I make lots of cards and you are going strong!

@txlavenderlady

Thanks for the encouragement...I have continued to do some cards -- and I am getting less and less scared of them! Woo Hoo!

I totally agree about doing the whole sheet....I found over the weekend that by using the wallpaper as the base (I just have an old sample book that I pull pages from when I am working on a collage) that I could cut it in my Cricut...I made some gift card holders to match my cards....totally cute!

Have a great week!~ Jann

Hi there I loved your tutorial on collage art, I hope to see more of that. I have been making collage art for about 2 years out of decorative paper napkins, scrapbook paper, lace, fabric, pearls etc. I am always amazed when it turns out to be so pretty as your card was. I also like how you used wallpaper and made a whole page. I would love to get my hands on the baroque die-cut :) Thanks for sharing it.

I am certainly closer to being a card maker than I have ever been before! *smile* I really did have fun with this one...so I am going to sit down and do some more before I have time to get nervous about it again! LOL!

You are a card maker - well done!
