Have you ever used decorative tape on your projects? I know I have, but it doesn't get better that the new Mixed Media Art Tape... It is a roll of possibilities... It's canvas on tape! Today I have a fun tutorial on how to customize your Mixed Media Tape to create a painted and stenciled background! Tutorial The best part of this project is the simplicity of the process.

You will also find all the supplies I used listed there too! I hope you love these cards as much as I do.

Ink smooshing usually works using a packaging piece of acetate and that makes sense since the ink isn't too heavy for the sheet. But paint is usually heavier, even when watered down and there's a chance an acetate sheet won't work a smoothly as this Duralar Mon...
