Mixed Media Card with Kristina Werner – Alcohol Inks & Distress Paint
Hi, all! Kristina Werner here. Today I have a fun mixed media card for you. It combines alcohol inks with Distress Paint, plus some die cutting.
I started out by creating an alcohol ink background using Silver Sparkle Alcohol Cardstock, which made it beautiful all on its own. I used three colors of alcohol ink. I used Gumball, and Enchanted and Villainous which are pearlescent alcohol inks.
To add some detail, I experimented with Picket Fence Distress Paint and the Peonies and Leaves stencil. At first, I tried to create a monoprint, but I didn’t have enough paint on the stencil. Then I decided to apply the paint over the stencil like usual.
To my surprise, the effect was beautiful! The white paint dries back quite a bit (as you can see in the photos), and the colorful background shines through. I was pleasantly surprised with the results.
To finished off the card, I stacked four die cuts made using CZ Design’s Love You die set for the greeting. I also diecut a thin frame using Simon’s A7 Thin Frames die set.
I hope you enjoy the video and it inspires you to mix some different mediums on your cards! I’ve never mixed alochol inks and paint before so this was fun! Enjoy!

Unbelievable! This is one of the most beautiful cards I’ve seen. I wish my experiments could come out half as nice. Thanks for sharing this and how you arrived at the finished product. Good idea to save the inside and attach the frame. Not wonky that way. Thank you so much.
I was scared there for a second…. turned out Beautiful!!!
