Using Squeegee “Scraped” Acrylic Art Panels in Cardmaking

Squeege Scraped Acrylic Art + handmade cards.

Recently, some friends and I got together to experiment with “Squeegee Art”, which I find just mesmerizing. I love to watch @sharecestudios on Instagram! Sharece is an artist but I am just an experimenter, as you can see in my photos.

Squeegee Art (also known as “Scraped Art”) is created by putting acrylic paint (dots, squiggles, lines, shapes…) on cardstock and then pulling the paint down with a shower squeegee. I posted a short video below showing how I created one of the panels.

You know me, once I was done, I took three of my panels and made them into contemporary art cards.

I love how bright and happy this card is! This panel was from a second generation “scrape”. The first generation panel is on card #3 below. After I created panel one, I scraped the leftover paint that was on the squeegee onto a second piece of cardstock and I love how the colors blended.

Card #2 was die cut from the same panel as card #1, and it is so adorable in person!
