Five Tools for Creating a Mixed Media Look
Recently, I’ve really gotten into adding a mixed media look to my Project Life pages. In the past, I had been a pretty graphic scrapper, but I have found that adding a mixed media look to my pages allows me to be a bit more creative with how my weekly spreads look. Creating a mixed media look while digital scrapbooking may seem difficult, but it’s really not once you have the right tools. These are some of my favorite tools for creating a mixed media look on my scrapbook layouts.
- Just Jaimee’s Gelato Brushes – I use all of the shapes on an almost regular basis.
- Michelle Godin’s Build-A-Mess – These are great for adding a messy, doodled touch to your pages.
- Karah Frederick’s Finishing Touches Collection – I use these as they are named, as finishing touches to add a little something before I finish my layout.
- Kate Hadfield’s Doodled Pocket Pages – while I don’t use these as a template, I often take just the doodled block and use it to put a doodle around a card or photo on my page.
- Just Jaimee’s Barely There Watercolor Transparencies – these make a great base to start with, I often recolor them and use them over patterned paper or cards.
These tools are seriously only the TIP of the iceberg in terms of what TLP Designers have to offer for mixed media projects. If you check out the Art Journaling category, you can find tons of different products to help you create a mixed media look on your pages.
