Beginner mixed media tutorial

Remember the Midori-style journal Jane Davenport released a while back? Well mine isn’t finished yet so I thought I’d do a beginner mixed media tutorial in it for you!
It’s a slightly different size than most journals but it’s fun to switch things around.
If you have any Dylusions shimmer sprays then grab them because they will help us create a quick background and…
We won’t even need to do much else to it because it is already so pretty 🙂
If you don’t have any then use Dylusions Ink Sprays instead and just add some shine on top with metallic acrylic paints.

I am pretty sure this kind of journal is discontinued now but you could do this on any journal page (as long as you start with a white background to retain the purity of the colours).

You don’t need tons of layers to create a beautiful mixed media journal spread, and here is the proof!

Watch the video and leave me a comment to let me know if you enjoyed it, or got inspired!!
