I know this an older video, but I just found it and really enjoyed watching the process. It turned out beautiful! tfs🦋

[@vivianlake3115]

I'm not new to mixed media and canvases but I always like "reviewing" with those who "get to the point". I really appreciate your teaching style and did learn something new today!!

[@IngridBlackburn]

Oh that's awesome Vivian! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!! 😁😁🎨

[@kv6027]

Thank you for this!! Been trying to learn mixed media and this has been SO helpful. Definitely inspired!

[@FloridaSunshine]

I don't know why, but from the very first moment that I started watching this video, I felt so happy I found it! And I am watching scrap booking videos for months! I think, you can feel that Ingrid really loves what she is doing. I can feel that positive energy. And, I am leaving a feedback once-twice a years. :-)

[@IngridBlackburn]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This project was so fun to make. I started in scrapbooking decades ago! I love your channel name. I'm from San Francisco originally. :) Thanks for watching. 😘😀🎨

[@laurengilliland8355]

Your voice tone is soothing adding to beauty of your art. I was born in San Francisco on Geary Blvd. Grew up in California and love art!❤

[@PerfectlyImperfectJunkJournals]

First I love your opening comments that you hope your videos inspire and that we learn something! That is exactly what I did. Mainly inspired me. I made junk journals but love to make mixed media prints for family and friends OR covers for my journals, and this video did just that. Plus, your direction is clear and concise. I don't understand why anyone would give you a thumbs down. Thank you Ingrid!

[@ladydevildog8946]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

[@chines68]

Your work is fantastic; you make it look SO easy that I can't wait to try your techniques. Thank you!

[@christinejackson-hart9606]

Thank you for sharing this with such a variety of techniques and media that truly encourages me to "think outside the box", plus use up from so much of what I already have on hand. It ends up with such an endearing finish. I can't wait to experiment for myself. Bless you!

I love the quickness of this video...................sorry to say that a lot of others take just too long. (Most of us don't need the complete steps to do a project). If you're new to more detail is just right for them. Thank you.

I want to try mixed media, and found your video lesson very informative. Thank you for posting this lesson for us newbies, to get an idea of what supplies we need and how to get started.

[@IngridBlackburn]

I'm so glad you found it valuable! I find mixed media relaxing. Each project is a little journey. Don't worry about the end result just keep at it, and before you know it your piece is a little work of art. It'll go through many stages. Enjoy it! 😁😁🎨

Lovely Techniques, subscribed x

[@Bubs2375]

This is definitely my favourite kind of crafting, if you haven't got glitter, paint or glue on your hands by teatime your doing something wrong...🤭... Your piece is beautiful, its always great to see the progression of someone's art creation, it helps to understand that sometimes it might look like a hot mess in the beginning but if you wait for the ending you'll see that it always comes together and looks amazing, just trust the process... Your channel was suggested by "Justine Hovey" and I'm really glad she did, I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing lots more of your videos... I'm sooo happy to be getting back into crafting, and watching channels such as yours is filling me with inspiration... Take care and stay safe my lovely... 💫😷✏👩🏼‍🎨🖌😷💫
