Hello, it’s Kari here and I’m so excited to be guesting for Altenew. I have created a two-page Art Journal Spread to share today, with lots of fun techniques! Visit the Altenew blog here to see all the details.
I also have a Video tutorial to share on how to re-create this look, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:


I love creating with multiple Mixed Media products! This was a fun tropical layout to put together.
I’m using Mixed Media paper here, and I added the leaves and brushed gesso over the entire panel. Then I used ALL kinds of fun mixed media: ink sprays, ink splatters, stamping, gold inking, and gold metallic gel! So much fun!

Do you see that gold paste onto the dimensional leaves (I used my finger, one of the best tools in the craft room!)
I also cut letters from the Bold Alpha Caps die set to spell “Aloha.” I added some gold foil to the bottom of each letter using scor-tape. (please watch the video to see how this is done)

I Used both liquid adhesive and foam tape to get extra dimension on those flowers.
I happened to have lots of extra flowers, so I also created a slim-line card to match!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I have listed the supplies below if you are interested.
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
