How to Create Vintage Collage Sheets

26/3/2020

 

Creating your own collage sheets and master boards

How to create vintage collage sheets and master boards using ephemera to scan and print and to create tear apart sheets. #vintagecollagesheets #createcollagesheets #collagesheets #vintageephemera
​​Hi all, well what a week! I hope that you are all staying safe. I am thinking of each and every one of you xx
Today I am creating vintage collage sheets using a variety of ephemera, die cuts and papers. These can then be used as master boards that you can scan and print and reprint as you wish. You could also edit them in image software to make them black and white or sepia toned. They make great happy mail to send out or to use in Junk Journals, creative journaling and art journals.

These were created for a challenge over in my Facebook Art Journaling Group

I hope that the video inspires you to create your own.

Mixed Media Collage Process on a Gelli Plate Background

It's been an awfully long time since I created any art at all, especially a mixed media collage. So with that in mind I decided it was time to get out the paints, books and glue and get creating.

I had already created the background using a Gelli Plate so was ready to go straight in to creating a collage. I wanted it to have a slight 'zetti style', but with a more vintage seaside vibe. 
Have a look at the creative process in the video below. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for future videos.

Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art (Mrs Brimbles)

15/3/2019

 
Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art With Me Mrs Brimbles
It's been a long time since 1, that I have created any watercolour art and 2, that I have done a post for Anna Brim, but yay, I can say that I am happy to be back doing both. I was so inspired by Anna's watercolour snowdrops video tutorial over on her patreon page - patreon.com/mrsbrimbles, that I decided to add my own twist to it using Colourcraft Crystal Colours Brusho as well as watercolour and stamping ink. I still used drawing gum to create a resist for the snowdrops. You can see my full process in the video below.
