Beginners Mixed Media Tutorial

[@patriciadoyle3416]

Thank you. So much. Such a help in encouraging people like myself who have ZERO confidence in their ability. To be able to follow along and produce something similar, is so helpful. Thank you. ❤️

[@renmo3974]

What a gorgeous card. If I spent that much time on a card and it turned out that beautiful, I would have to keep it!

[@lindylessard5804]

That is a gorgeous card! The person that receives it is very lucky! I’m amazed at the talented artists that have taken the time to teach us new tips & tricks for mixed media. I’m a stamper & card maker for over 20 years, and I’m still learning. A few years ago I found ATC’S and I love to use mixed media on such a small scale. Thank you so very much!

[@jenniferturner9820]

Love this tutorial. Please do some more for us beginners!

[@LibbyRal]

I've never seen a sheet of acetate/plastic used as a stamp before. What a great idea!

[@cindyrobinson2199]

I've watched this video a few times now and absolutely love this card. I love this look and the colors you used are my favorite. I need to try something similar.

[@joanner1584]

Absolutely love this card. I’ve just recently found your channel and am currently binging as much as possible. I love your style.

[@TrashyTreasyours]

Lovely work! I, too, love love love mixed media and have been experimenting a LOT lately! ❤🎨

[@dawnlawson7720]

Love your videos. Love the back ground sounds of birds and ship horns.

[@Yummicookie1979]

I have been incorporating scrapbooking and other mixed media techniques into my polymer clay jewelry. I can't believe some of the awesome things I have created. Love this tutorial. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!😊❤

[@cassiewarne6734]

Love this card, the colours and all the mixed media go perfectly together. Loving all your tutorials

[@lindadamon2453]

Thanks so much Lou. I've been getting a bit bored with card making and have started wondering about journalling and mixed media. There is an element of chance and intuitiveness to it which i think is another level of creativity. ❤

[@hilarymerola11]

Thank you for this inspiration. I don’t have half of the supplies that you used, but I still learned a lot and was able to produce a very interesting page.

[@suiren_vt8819]

I’m working on my first mixed media painting, your tutorial is super helpful. I’ve probably bitten off more than I can chew but I’m looking forward to it

[@peaceforall2761]

I've try to do this type of art and it look like the dog dropped it in his bowl 😂 and put it back on my desk. I love your creation. I don't have your talent,but enjoy watching your video. Thank you.

[@LouCollins]

@@peaceforall2761 😂 That did make me laugh - sorry!

[@fungirl809]

😂😂😂

[@lindylessard5804]

I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as you thought. I’ve found that if I just sit with the only intention to play with ink, gel medium & a few stamps, I sometimes come up with something worthwhile. If I try to make something lovely, things don’t always go the way I wanted. My advice: Just Play!

[@conniesanginesi4676]

First time watching, I’m loving your mixed media.

[@yelsyels]

This has inspired me to play with backgrounds! Love this tutorial! Appreciated!

[@karenlaird2149]

I haven't done mix media but your tutorial was so inspiring I am giving it a try. Thank you so much!

[@lynneharrison6523]

This is so outside my comfort zone but it’s a beautiful card. I’m going to have a play and see what happens

[@LouCollins]

Please do! And I would love to see the end result x

[@LibbyRal]

So how did it turn out? Were you pleased. Did it help you expand your comfort zone?

[@juliecurtis9517]

This is beautiful! I've made a journal page along with you and love it! Thank you for sharing this!

[@currylover0]

I haven't done any mixed media in a while. Thanks for posting and sharing to get me motivated in doing some more. Beautiful piece, could be a card or framed artwork.

[@lorimantovi6932]

Fantastic! I am new to mixed media, Lou, and your tutorial has given me hope of creating something I can be proud of! You are talented indeed!

[@susanwhite1218]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@kiwipommiegirl]

I've never trie d mixed media yet but the more videos I watch the more I like it. Your card is stunning,tfs.❤

[@SamanthaHenneke]

Thank you for the tour of the gardens and telling us your story. I love watching all of the layers you did in your journal. Interesting that you put a layer of gesso down at the beginning. (USA) March 24, 2023

Bonjour. Merci pour ce magnifique partage et le tutoriel si simple à suivre pour celles qui débutent. La carte est juste superbe. J’adore👍🏻👏🏻😊

[@KatjaAdams]

Love the card and love watching the process. ❤ I'm new to your channel and a total novice when it comes to diecutting, so when you made the butterfly I thought it was magical. I couldn't find any mention of the die cutter in your notes, though. I'd love to learn what you use.

[@saracoopey1349]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@tanyamccorry2132]

Absolutely stunning, truly inspirational ❤

[@VickiConway-p3z]

Gorgeous card. I'm dying to put all your tips and ideas to use. Thanks for a super tutorial. 🎉

[@nikkirosindale7854]

You always do informative videos,your cards always look beautiful, but I've got to say,this is definitely my favourite 😍

[@pamelahall282]

Hi, i liked the way you inked the black ink the opposite way, havn’t seen that done before, thank you Pamela hall

[@LouCollins]

Thank you ❤️

[@cindyrobinson6792]

Gosh, that is beautiful. I love that style and the colors are fabulous together. I'm totally inspired.

Such a fantastic tutorial! Beautiful card! Thank you for inspiring me❤❤

[@mariefairclough2831]

Very helpful as I am just starting with mixed media and not a clue where to start

[@annsmagghe6472]

I've never tried this technique, wasn't too sure if I liked it, however have to say that watching you build up the card, I've changed my mind completely, it's really really nice and I'm going to give this method a go. Thank You, Lou x

[@LouCollins]

I’m so pleased I could convince you 😂 If love to see what you end up making x

Beautifull..you have the eye and the touch. I am a begiiner and this video gave me some confidence to try.

[@cathyrothera8725]

Lou, just loved following you on this tutorial. Stunning effect, love it. xx

[@CybelsDesign]

Really very lovely, thx Lou. Too bad the postcard and stichted stamps are not available any more 😥

[@jacquiposener7262]

Fantastic card and tutorial Lou! Of course I know your name but have never found your channel! Love this so I’ve subscribed and will give this or something similar a go!

Absolutely gorgeous. Lovely seeing how you built the layers up. Such a good project! Thanks for sharing.

[@LouCollins]

Thank you 😊

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

I loved watching this, I was looking for inspiration as I’ve started doing a panel and needed inspiration, which I’ve now got, thank you 🙏

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Love this mixed media project! The colors compliment each other really well. It occurs to me that using Tim Holtz’s Foundry wax on the edges of the butterfly would be gorgeous! I believe I will do a canvas using your tips, TFS!

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

Love this card. Really striking. Would definitely look fab as a canvas, so might do one when I get a chance. I'm also thinking of changing the butterfly for a moth or beetle for a male card x

[@LouCollins]

That would be beautiful! I haven't yet plucked up the courage to add a large beetle to my projects 😬x

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

@@LouCollins when you Do, id love to see the result 😁 I'm sure it will look fab x

[@jodyshafer4953]

LOVE! Glad I found your channel ❤

Excellent!!! ♥️♥️♥️it!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@debbiemain4061]

Lou that is absolutely stunning, you made it look so easy! ... I'm tempted to try, but I know for sure it won't look anywhere near as good as this, but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere! XX

[@LouCollins]

Absolutely and I think mixed media like this is so forgiving! xx
