Mixed Media

Fancy getting your hands dirty (creatively speaking)? Mixed media is the playground of scrapbooking: it blends papers, pastes, sprays, stencils, watercolours, gesso and textures to create art journals, covers, tags, canvases and dimensional layouts. It is the category for anyone who wants to go beyond flat paper and explore tactile layers full of personality.

The golden rule: work in thin layers, dry between steps and seal when using wet or gritty media. From there, anything goes: combine with stamps, distress inks and dies until you find your style. At Artcreatiu you will find pastes, mediums, sprays and accessories; filter by technique or brand and create one-of-a-kind pieces with scrapbooking supplies.

Photograph each layer as you go: you will be able to repeat those texture recipes you loved.

Protect your desk with a craft sheet: pastes and sprays stain and dry fast off the project. Your desk will thank you.
