This is such a fantastic video Kaisa! I absolutely love how you build up your pages step by step with so many easy techniques. Thank you for sharing them with us. I’d have never thought to use the crayons in the same colour as the collage pages - it works so well to create more depth and dimension! Can’t wait to try it on my own journal pages. And I can’t wait for the free retreat!
Thanks for such a gorgeous comment Liz! ❤🥰 You know how much I love my crayons - honestly they're so versatile! 😍 Adds so much dimension as you've pointed out and such lush, vibrant colours! Plus minimal mess which is a bonus haha 😁 Can't wait for the retreat either, so excited!
Just found you. I felt like I was watching one of my own videos. 😄 We have a similar style and take on the creative process. I like how you added alot of strips of patterned paper. Are you using regular chalk pastels to shade and then blend with water? I might have to try that.
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment, I've just subscribed to your account - love your videos! 😍They're such a joy to watch and yes, love how we have a very similar style and take on things 😄 I'm using Caran D'Ache water-soluble wax pastels and blend them with water, absolutely LOVE this technique. No mess and lovely, vibrant colours. 😊
I love keeping old sketches and paintings for this purpose but you do end up with loads over time!😄 It's just to lovely to reuse them, creates personal history in the art journals but also they make really gorgeous collage. ❤
I absolutely love this spread. It’s so bright and cheerful. It will be my next project. ❤
So happy to hear that Sarah, thank you for the comment 💖 I really need those bright lush colours in my life! Can't wait to see what you create 🥰

I like the idea to cut up old paintings. Very colourful page
