Easy Mixed Media Art: Start with Your Least Favorite Collage Papers

In this video, I am deliberately starting with collage papers I don't like. I suppose that is the reverse of how most people create but I needed a place to begin and it ultimately worked out. The lesson for me was to just get started and remembering that simple ideas can be the catalyst for something more. You never know what the end result might be.

That was fun! I’m so glad you went down that unplanned road!

Oh Denise, I appreciate you saying that--thanks! I guess it just shows that you never know what might happen once you get started.

Thank you, Pam, so much fun! Love your ideas! Made a birthday card for my gf and did your cardboard birthday cake! It was fab!! I'm gonna make that my go to birthday card!! ❤ You keep me inspired! Thank you!😊

I am so glad to hear that Gwynned! I make that birthday cake for most of my birthday cards too!

[@gwynnedjackson3871]

Pam, what is the transparent black paint that you used? Thanks!

[@pamhemmerling]

It was probably Bone Black--I think Liquitex & Golden both make it.

This is such good idea, you just get me going! Thank you!

Oh, I am so glad to hear that Sara! Sometimes all we need is a boost to get ourselves creating and we are on our way.
