Hi there, Susanne here with a quick and easy abstract collage that is done in one of my small spiral bound sketchbooks using handpainted/ handstamped papers. I used stamps from Carved Collection 1 and a lot of mark making. I love these little art journals as the pages are not very big. This is the perfect size to make some art that takes not too much time.

I started the masterboard with a random collage, added acrylic paints and did some stamping and mark making. Usually this turns out quite messy and doesn’t look like a piece of art, but once you cut it down to smaller pieces it makes a gorgeous background.
