How to Create Beautiful Mixed Media Layers with Acrylic Paint, Ink, and Collage!

Love the leaves and flowers

Thanks so much! The flower is a paper cutting, and the leaves are collage papers I created earlier, mostly my own gelli plate prints. Some of the leaves came from an old art journal page that fell out of one of my journals, but I decided to save and use later. I love keeping old materials for art journaling but they so stack up! Do you do that too? 😊

Really interesting layering method. Questions, can you tell me the color of the blues you were using? Also, when you layered on the squares with the stencils, did you let the pink dry before adding the white?

Thanks so much! I really love working this way, the pages end up telling such a story and it creates so much depth. I didn't let the pink dry before adding the white, if you look very carefully you can see how there's a little pink mixed with the white all over the stenciled area. Very subtle, though! And the blues I've used are Phathlo Turquoise (fluid acrylic paint) and Turquoise (acrylic ink). 😊 I absolutely love turquoise so it makes an appearance in nearly everything that I make! 😄
