After watching MANY of your videos over the past few months....I absolutely adore your "wing-it" style, very carefree & you make it look simple. You obviously enjoy your work process. ❤️

Your Creativity ❣️❣️❣️❣️I could watch you create ALL DAY!

[@revCMF]

I’ve been in a creative funk lately, and your videos are really helping me pull myself out of it. Thank you so much.

Oh- take care of yourself- hope you get your mojo back asap

[@mariamuriel5494]

Me encanta!!!!

[@rhondasparkes8069]

Another fabulous page Niamh. I am once again envious of the way you appear to just ‘slop’ colour down and turn the ordinary into magical. Those stamped flowers are gorgeous! Love it 💋

[@NellysArtisticCreations]

Love it!!

[@debbiesjournals4550]

I always love your mark-making. You do things I would never think of. And the way you add your own creativity to the collage pieces is always fabulous!

[@arig4435]

This is gorgeous! I want to try it now, thank you for the inspiration!

[@summergirlztropical]

I love your carefree creativity! How does a person lose their “serious overthinking” when doing page??

[@NiamhBaly]

It’s a tough one. Try and work quickly (less time to think), lower your expectations, and don’t expect perfection. Just have fun and know that if you hate it you can paint over it xxx

[@calonstanni]

No shit right? "I'm just gonna slop some color on these flower stamps" .....and VOILA it's a stunning flower crown. I'd be fretting over petal color, arrangement, blah blah blah and I'd go to bed with it all undone!

[@dreamwoodsbutterfly]

@@NiamhBaly Great advice as always Niamh. This page is stunning!

[@victoriairenematthews5363]

@@calonstanni I relate to this so much. I sit down at my craft table and just get overwhelmed with how to do it

[@cloverrabbit5622]

Great page! I haven't created a page yet using pages from a magazine. Do thicker magazine papers work best to do this technique?

[@NiamhBaly]

Any magazine image will work- just use what inspires you. Then you can doodle over the top as well x

[@cloverrabbit5622]

That's great, I find most of the magazines use thinner, cheaper papers these days. Love your work...thanks!

[@lovejoyy]

This has such a mermaid feeling. Maybe it’s the colors. I love your work. What kind of scissors are you using? They look nice and sharp and just the right size. Where did you get them?

[@NiamhBaly]

I use the Tim holtz 6in haberdashery scissors - they’re great x

[@lovejoyy]
