Thanks so much for this. I love playing with mixed media techniques but seldom love how it comes out. This video is very helpful. Really looking forward to more on this topic. By the way, there are no mistakes in paper play - just opportunities for embellishment. 😁👍
Not sure where to ask a question re: your shorts so thought I’d post here! Love your wax seal shorts and the seals you have are beautiful. Could you please share where you got them from, particularly the last one (purple wax seal). Thx!
@@christinemleung Christine I have tried gesso and paste that’s about it. New at this since I have a little more time on my hands. I want to learn more to apply to my journals. You make it look so easy. What I do like about trying different process is the outcome. So stress free 😀
Ok girls, you are opening my eyes! Eye shadow? Funny, I use this sparkle glitter that comes in eye shadow form to embellish my wax seals, but never thought to use my own eye shadow for aging papers. Brilliant idea Carola! Btw, I'm going to feature that technique in one of my tips and tricks videos. Do you mind if I reference you? I won't use your last name. If you're not comfortable with that, I understand. I just like to give credit where credit is due. You're a genius!
What???? Shoe Polish? I'm going to have to try that. Btw, I'm going to mention the shoe polish and try it in one of my next scrapbooking tips and tricks vids. Do you mind if I reference you? I won't use your last name. I just want people to know that it's my crafting community that is coming up with these fabulous ideas. I understand if you don't want you name mentioned. I just like to give credit where credit is due. Thank you for sharing your secrets Cheryl. 😄
Hi Christine! I need to change my mentality and "take a page from your book". Sadly I'm such a clean freak. I would be way more creative if I would just let things go..... flow! LOL. Have a fantastic week.
I understand. If you look at a lot my projects, I rarely use embossing folders. The crayons with water keeps it simple though. Start with that. Have a great weekend and thank you for watching.
I love new media; well new to me. 😊
Hi my name is Lisa I'm new to your channel and I really enjoyed your creative process

You're welcome Gaye. Have fun playing with paper this weekend. Btw, what is your favorite mixed media technique?

Hi Beatrice. Shockingly I purchase most of my wax seals on Amazon. Check them out. Thank you for watching.
Awesome tips I did not know. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with a spin. 😀
You're welcome Cheryl. Btw, do you use a lot of mixed media in your crafting? If you do, what is your fave?

Have you tried the Tim Holtz watercolor pencils? They work very similar.
I like the watercolor pencils and think they work better than the crayons. I feel you have more time to work with the watercolors than the crayons.
Hi Morgaine. The only watercolor pencils I use are the Faber Castell. I'll have to try the Tim Holtz ones. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Vikki. Are they better than the Faber Castell pencils?
You will laugh at this -- I use eye shadow to "age" or highlight papers. Shadows come in many colors.
I think using eyeshadow to age and highlight is a great idea. It is also cheaper than many of the name craft supplies!
Ditto ! I have even used paste shoe polish when in a pinch👍

You're right Morgaine. And how many eye shadow palettes do we all have that we don't use anymore. It's brilliant! 🙃

The dirtier my hands are with paint and inks and glue, the happier i am.

This is still a little to advanced for a beginner. We don’t have embossing equipment. Help.😊

Btw, Suzanne what type of crafting do you gravitate towards? And as a beginner, what tutorials do you think would be helpful?
