Mixed Media Heart Art

Do you know what Mixed Media Art is?! If you don’t, it basically just means you’re using a variety of materials to create a work of art! Google it & you’ll see some pretty cool creations lol! Honestly, a bunch of stuff I make is technically Mixed Media, but I don’t refer to it as that (I just give it a name haha).

But today, I’m embracing the title Mixed Media Heart Art!! YES!! Sooo, in this cute little piece, I’m using tissue paper, fabric, texture mud, ink & jute string! Give me allllll the textures!

This project is certainly inspired by an upcoming holiday! Know which one??? YEP you guessed it, Valentine’s Day…..but I have to say that because of the neutral color palette, this one is great for all year around!

I would LOVE for you to give this project a whirl, so keep scrolling & you’ll find a complete supply list plus a super quick step-by-step video tutorial! YAY!!
