Enjoyed this video so much! Good reminders of backgrounds that will work with either a journal or card making!! I’m inspired and motivated to use these background techniques on some cards I’m stuck on!!
Thank you, Vicky!!
these background techniques are exactly what i needed! i’ve been wanting to try more mixed media approaches in my art journal but always felt stuck using the same few methods over and over. the variety shown here is so inspiring – i love that there are options for different skill levels and supplies. i’m particularly excited about trying the texture techniques since that’s an area i’ve been wanting to explore. your close-up photos really help visualize how the effects translate in person versus just watching a video. going to grab some of my supplies this weekend and give these a try! thanks for always sharing such creative and accessible tutorials – your content has really helped me grow more confident with mixed media crafting.
