Our talented DT member @joherbert is thinking outside the box with this fun and colourful card duo, created using a vibrant face paint palette for a playful mixed-media twist! The bright blended backgrounds are full of energy, creativity, and artistic flair — proving that inspiration can come from the most unexpected places.

TIP: Jo applied her colours using angled strokes across the card panels to create a loose, artistic effect. It’s a fantastic technique for adding movement and texture — and perfect for anyone who struggles to draw lines perfectly straight!

We’d love to know — have you ever experimented with unexpected craft mediums on your cards or scrapbook projects? Share your favourite creative techniques in the comments and visit our social pages for even more colourful inspiration from the Paper Rose Studio Design Team!
