**New** Mixed Media Backgrounds

I thoroughly enjoyed creating these backgrounds,

to be able to just let loose and have fun - priceless.

I didn't have to wonder how I was going to finish the page -

that's for you to do!

 

I've used a multitude of different products, sizes and techniques.  

I've dived into my collection of different text pages, created my own stencils,

dragged out my sewing machine and glued, spritzed, inked and

sewn like never before!!

 

These are one-off backgrounds that can be included in your art journal,

cut down to create ATC's or tags, punched, added to and built upon.

 

  By the way - we ALL want to see what you do with them!  

'Falling Apart'

"Falling Apart"

I started this page off with a stencil experiment that went awry and wondered what the heck am I going to do with this. I'm always kind of anxious when I do a page, is it perfect? it is good enough? does it have meaning? (what is that anyway?) so to start off on a page that I already deemed ruined I didn't have any inhibitions or worries about what I put on it. I felt very free. I used the scraps and offcuts on my desk and just stuck them down. From there added my favourite textures, covered up more mistakes and kept going with the crackle paint and spritzing until I was happy. This has to be one of my favourite pages. Lesson learnt:  LET GO!!!!
