Fun Leftover Scrap Paper Collage - Art Journaling
Thanks for the words of wisdom
"Trust in oneself" hmmm ... there are times when 'being adult' gets in the way of so many enjoyable moments in life for me.
I know what you mean. The bumps in the road are many, but they do help us enjoy the smooth spots more.
😊I'm re-watching the tree you made in the creative club. I have those cards - I think I bought them because of this painting lol A question with the liquid acrylic paints, are they watered down acrylic paints? Basic question I know, but I have had little sleep so I am really working hard on making sense of much right now. I have that set of cards you made to finish up. I have the front done, and the back now needs a light coats of a colour or two then to go back and work out what you did after that to make the cards 😀 I am working on 'less perfection, more enjoyment' in anything I create that is visual.
@@silverpromidi Not exactly, they are highly pigmented paints with a binder that makes them more liquid than others. You can, however, water down just about any paint to achieve similar results, but you will lose quite a bit of vibrancy doing so. Still, it works in a pinch, I do this all the time too and it's a great way to let go of perfection.
thanks, methinks I need that HUGE room for art supplies lol I was looking at the daler-rowney inks on Amazon, are they ones that you use?
@@silverpromidi No, inks are not the same thing as acrylics and they can behave very differently when layering (inks tend to bleed through layers placed on top, which is fun if that's what you expect them to do). Pouring and high-flow acrylics are different as well. Your best bet for quality is Golden Fluid Acrylics, but they are pricy so I really can't recommend them for something like art journaling but I use them for other mixed-media projects. I recently bought some Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Fluid Paint but wasn't impressed. There used to be a couple of other brands of Fluid Acrylics sold at Micheals and JoAnns, but I can't find them anymore. I did find a MEEDEN Fluid Acrylic Paint on Amazon that is super affordable but that makes be question the quality, but for the price I think they might be worth trying out. Do expect these paints to be very translucent, they won't cover up like craft acrylics do, great so glazing.

"use a brayer to push back emotions" hmmmm ... interesting idea so much wisdom in this 💖thank you Karen now I want to go find that video you made of making an art journal from paper grocery bags and make a few - I have a LOT of those bags 😂
Thank you, I've been journal writing since I was 10, but when I switched to visual journaling 9 years ago I found that I could go much much deeper. Much of what I do is on a subconscious level, it's only after I watch myself, as I edit these videos, that I see what I'm doing. As for the paper bag video, I don't think I have one, but I found a whole bunch of them by searching for "art journal from paper grocery bag" on UA-cam. But I do have one where I upcycle a photo album: ua-cam.com/video/jhoGXS6o3H0/v-deo.htmlsi=R1wX5AK6zv_ZKjGu
I was so sure you had a video on that and when I looked through them I was scratching my head lol I'll look into that one later today, thank you. Long time journaling, I started consistently in 2019 - October if memory serves me well - and most days I manage to put in an 'art page' as well. Not heavy depth, but something 😊
WOW love it! very inspiring. 🦘
Thanks!
Please can you tell me where can I find that stencil that is like a chain of bubbles? ( circles connected by little lines) I love that one!
I think I might have made it on my cricut
thank you. It's a great stencil ! I love your papers! They're very inspiring!
loved this 😀 I was up way too early this morning, but I had to start my internet day with this after I saw the email come through. I'm planning a lot of art time this weekend, so this will be on the agenda. Thanks Karen. 💖
Can't wait to see what you create!

Thank you so much!
Absolutely love.
Thanks Lisa!
The grass is the hill you are standing on overlooking the city 😃 I love the starry night background. Sounds like you sent the perfectionist critic into the corner to play with their blocks 😆 I have a doctors appointment this morning and this looks like a great way to de-stress from being around so many people. Love this piece.
Thanks! And yes, it’s a wonderful way to relax.
💖
Thank you for a very helpful video❤
You’re very welcome!

Excellent tips!!!! Thank you so much ❤.
Thank you Kathy!
This was a great presentation!! Thank you
Thanks Peggy! I appreciate the feedback.
Every time I watch one of videos I am challenged to stretch my imagination and learn something new!! Thank you!
You are most welcome 🤗
I made my first set of cards! They are addicting!
I’m soooo proud of you! Nice job. If you’re in my Facebook group, please do share.
Oh, this is both fun and dangerous 😄 I have attempted over time to make these cards so this book might help a lot to get me going with ideas - it is available on Amazon, $23.09aud that is the dangerous part 😂 What paint set did you use on the collage please? I love the face that came up on the right side 🙂 a really nice decorated box to hold them in would be lovely to protect them and keep them protected. Now I also have a reason to go visit the paint section at our local hardware place lol Oh, I have those wisdom cards, I need to pull them out of the storage box 🙂 thank you
I was using liquid acrylics for the paints, thinned with Matte Medium. I used Indian Yellow, Green Gold, Cadmium Red Hue, and Pyrrole Orange (the first two are my favorites). You could also use watered down inexpensive craft or acrylic tube paints. But don't use a gloss finish or your cards will get sticky. Thanks for watching!
I may need to start using up paints lol this project is 'do-able' now to do it. I have just finished making my first Primitive Doll, she was interesting and I have learnt a lot in that process one lesson being to put on gloves when using spray oxide inks 😂 I have this book in my wish list and yes! Amazon Prime membership is so worth it just on shipping alone. I need to go check on what mediums I have, I think they are matt. Thanks for that tip.
I can’t wait to see what you create!
💖
It's beautiful and free. Love it.
Thank you, your words lift me up today and I needed that.

I wondered where this would go at first, but it is really super cool! I learned some new techniques and will give them a try! Thanks so much. great video!
Thanks Valerie, you made my evening! And I hope you’ll share what you create in our Facebook group
Absolutely beautiful and fun to watch! What type of paper were you using??
Thank you! I am using Hammermill premium color copy paper. It is 32 pound. I love it because it’s got a really nice smooth finish on it. It’s a little heavier weight and it doesn’t tend to get stuck behind on the gel plate. Happy creating and thanks for watching
Such lovely pages. Great tutorial.
Thanks! I'm just learning this medium (after being endlessly frustrated in the past) and plan on doing a lot more in the coming months.
I love this and I just started watching! Beautiful! Thank you!!!
Thank you 🙏
I would have never thought to just squirt paint on and then pull the layer! Those made some awesome pulls. I am still learning and that is definitely going in my notebook to try. Loved the video!❤
Thanks! I’m just learning too. There are so many great ideas on UA-cam, easy to get lost! Have fun playing.

Just gave this a try! I read your note about not trying to copy you and thought dang so I didn’t. I really had a blast, made a huge mess and then made my own paper mosaic!! On to the next mess! Love it!
So cool! Thanks for making a mess with me, lol!
Fabulous idea. I cannot wait to try it. Thank you!
I'd love to see what you create! You can share at facebook.com/groups/creativesouljourneys if you want too. Thanks for watching!

wow, that's such a great piece. It gives quite an impact 😊
Thanks! I originally did this as a livestream but I wasn’t happy with the way it turned out. So I recorded a new ending. I often find that if I don’t like what I create, it usually means I’m not done. I love how it came out.

I understand, if I plan takes me forever to make a decision. Now I just go with the flow
Who needs plans when you can just ride the wave, right? lol!
Fabulous!, and so colourful. I did one yesterday and just let go, after seeing your last ones. Putting people in is so effective and I try to put people in mine. The problem being I just don't like them in my life so I take them off again 😂. I should try with cartoon characters or robots😊. My art so says something about me 😂.
People can be challenging for me too, that's why sometimes I use silhouettes, and I love your ideas too!
