So many different techniques and mediums used. Resist paste...that's what I need! I love negative backgrounds versus positive .

I purchased those floral stickers. They are quite nice to add some color to certain projects.

Your page is so pretty! I loved your tip about using tissue paper for the stamps. I'm just beginning with art journaling and there have been times I've wanted to stamp something onto the background, but was afraid I might mess up the background. Tissue paper would be a perfect way around that! Thank you for this great tutorial!

Hi I’ve just started mixed media and I was wondering if you could use something like acrylic painting instead of textured paste

[@terrytulipane6916]

Fiddly.....😊

[@yelena86]

👍✌️🙏❤️✨

[@littlevoice_11]

This was the Creative platform from here (just pop ‘stamping platform’ into the search bar and it’s usually the first result) 🇬🇧 tidd.ly/3fc2XM2 🇺🇸 shrsl.com/3q9xy
