Easy mixed media BACKGROUND technique - page for beginners

[@ShikiraPressley]

Fabulous creations as long as you have lots of precision-made decals that Tim Holtz etc, have made their millions. I like to use very inexpensive decoration or hand-made to keep my work really individual, so trying hard not to be tempted by the luscious array of unnecessary online purchases to make outstandingly beautiful art.

Ms. Marta - a most gorgeous page, as well as a beautiful photo of you and Emily! The background turned out awesome with the paper layers. Thanks so much for sharing!

I love your work. I'm curious though - what do you do with the finished projects? Do you frame them? I would love to see what happens to them after the camera stops rolling! Just to get ideas. Thanks so much for your videos. You are so talented x

[@MaremiSmallArt]

I do frame my most favourite ones in shadow boxes behind the glass. Some of them are framed and given to family and friends. Most of them are on the shelf as I do more pages than most people. I create projects to show and teach... so as you can imagine I have quite a number of pages made. I still have them all, nothing is trashed. Yet I have less and less space so... who knows maybe one day I will have to think for some better storing solution... and maybe get rid of some projects? :) Hugs, Marta xx

[@kj6628]

+Maremi SmallArt I'm so happy to hear you keep them. They are so beautiful x

[@MaremiSmallArt]

[@nproulx103]

Hello! Your work is beautiful. How do you store your work afterwards?

[@TheTeteel]

Lovely.

[@caphilliips]

Your work is so beautiful. I love to scrapbook but I have stayed away from the more dimensional pages because they will not fit in a scrapbook. How do you display them ? What are some ways you display yours?

[@sherryvanhelvoirt6775]

I had the exact same question! I never quite know how to display, keep, give, gift, etc.....especially the odd shaped/sized pieces.

[@F-Taheri]

My question might be very silly😕, but how do you hang a layout on the wall???? Thanx

[@shellkrolak1253]

Beautiful! Thanks for the lesson :-) Where do you buy such beautiful paper? I certainly don't see it Michaels... Is there a brand you like to buy from? Thanks!

[@camillasoderlund8027]

Thank you xx

[@sheetalmordani3013]

wow

[@rainbarber7657]

Such a beautiful picture of you and Emily. I love the way it turned out. You did a beginner video showing how to easily do 20 backgrounds for art journaling and how to use those backgrounds to complete a page. Can yo do something like that for scrapbooking? The other video has.helped me immensely and I am now much more confident with my art journaling. I would love to feel that way about scrapbooking.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

That sounds like a great idea !!!!!!!!! I will definately have a think about it :) Sending you many hugs, Marta xx
