Welcome Back Crafty Friends!
Today we are using the 2026 August Mixed Media Kit which features fun modeling clay with using a texture maker mat to design your clay. I walk you step by step on how to use all the items inside the kit. After we finish preparing the clay we decorate each canvas with delicate heart, dried bouquet jar ephemera, and painted chipboard pieces. In addition to the embellishments we add we will apply metallic paint and some perfect pearl powders to the raised clay texture.
To begin grab half or about 3/4 of the modeling clay from your bag and knead it in your hand for a bit, then roll out until it's large enough to place the texture mat on top, as shown below. spray a bit of water on top of the clay before placing the texture mat on top of the clay. Lay down the mat and roll it down into the clay until you feel the pattern is set on top of the clay.

Once your done gently lift one end and pull off gently. The water will help pull off the mat.
Here is the pattern we created. Don't worry about the water you can gently pat with a paper towel.
Next get adhesive, I used mod podge, apply to the top of your canvas.
Place the textured clay on top of the canvas and gently pat down to adhere to the canvas. After you place down the clay, check for any excess clay hanging over and cut away.
