In a way, a lot of my cards, without thinking, are mixed media, being asked to do mixed media got me in a panic, but this is what I came up with.
stamping, stencilling paste, dry and heat embossing, die cut.
For mixed media, I read somewhere you just go with the flow and use different techniques. As I have here. I agree it's not one of my best, but I was short of time for the challenge.
I stamped the bike, then added paste, homemade, by mixing some PVA glue and water with talcum powder, through a stencil. Next the card was dropped into wet paint onto my glass mat, then I splattered the background, with the red ink. After drying it, I added the sentiment onto the card.
Next I went looking for an embossing folder I was sure I had, but couldn't find it, so although it's a "hessian" background, it added texture. I then stamped a sentiment onto the same red card, gold embossed it and die cut it. It was added to the card below the main image. I made lots of mistakes with this card, but, I hope you think it worked out OK.

Your background is just gorgeous, Faith!
I think this motorcycle makes a wonderful masculine card Faith, and I'm not sure if it is texture paste or an embossing folder but it looks like tyre tracks, and the background embossing on red card and the gold on red banner sentiment finish it beautifully. x
Fantastic masculine card, it all works well together.

This is a terrific masculine card Faith and I love the background colours with the tyre tread and the splatters and the black stamped word strips which coordinates with the black stamped motorbike and the red hessian embossed background piece together with the gold on red sentiment finish it beautifully. x
