Mixed Media Art Journaling Tutorial with Collage and Bold Flowers

Hi there, Susanne here with a mixed media art journal page tutorial using collage combined with acrylic inks for the background and flowers from our Pencil Marks 7 stamp set. I have a full video tutorial for you linked at the bottom of this post.

I started this spread by adhering some of my handmade collage papers in blue shades. To get the best surface to work on top of with acrylic inks I coverd it with a thin layer of clear gesso. After this was dry I did some stamping with the bold leaf from Pencil Marks 7 and the ticket stamp from Mixed Media Marks 1. I then coloured the spread with acrylic inks in turquoise, prussian blue and white. While this was drying I prepared my flowers. I stamped them to a left over paint paper with black ink and cut them out. I coloured the center with acrylic markers and added some white dots with a posca pen.

Before I adhered the flowers I stamped a border all around the page with another image from Pencil Marks 7. I drew the stems with a black watercolor pencil and added some neon pink and white splatters to the background. Instead of a stamped sentiment I decided to write some words onto the stems of the flowers with a posca paint pen.
