I'm always amazed of how easy you use color and combine all embellishments to match your mixed media. Just love it all!

Oh MY GOODNESS!!! How do you keep making another layout more beautiful and inspiring than the last?!? So many things I learned here!! I’m finally trying a bit of mixed media and see a little goes a long way. I’m a bit heavy handed and after watching this video realizing not enough water and not enough just letting it move naturally and “drip” down the page. I tried to do it in the last layout and tried to control it with brush strokes and didn’t love it. It’s 5 am. So I’ll try again tomorrow!! Thanks so much for continuing to inspire me and at least making it look easy!😂❤️❤️❤️

[@missywhidden6877]

Thanks, Maureen! That means a lot :) Just keep on playing with it. It's definitely a trial and error sort of thing. I usually don't love the look of brush strokes, either. I love the soft edges look, so that's why I like to let the paint run and blend all over the page. It'll get better, I promise!

Thanks, Gina!

[@annedodd1912]

Love your videos! I am thinking about purchasing a small sewing machine to use for paper crafts only. I have a nice machine that I don't want to use on adhesives and paper. Can you recommend one? Thanks!

[@missywhidden6877]

Thanks, Anne! I just use a regular Brother machine that I got from Walmart several years ago. I only know how to do basic stitching, so I'm no help with any other details LOL. I learned how to use it from watching a YT video :D

[@camcas727]

I always struggle with orange and red splatters- I always think they look like blood!

[@missywhidden6877]

Haha SAME! I have to use them sparingly and on just the right page. If I use red, I usually blot them up so they almost look light pink :D

[@nancysmith3289]

Love this, but what did you roll over the white acrylic paint splatters? Is it just a roll of paper towels? I am new to mix media and your videos are amazing!

[@missywhidden6877]

Thanks, Nancy! Yes, it's just a roll of paper towels. I have found that rolling it over the paint splatters keeps the shape of the splatters in a circle. If I just smush a napkin on them it makes them into blobs. It's magic or something LOL

[@cathywho122]

Have you tried using a clear gesso?

[@missywhidden6877]

Yes I use clear gesso all the time on white backgrounds. I like to use white on colored backgrounds because I want the colors I used to be true to color. These paints would look different directly on the purple. I hope that makes sense :D
