Art Journal Collage with Tissue Paper & Watercolors – a Vintage Spring Spread

Hi there, Susanne here with a new mixed media art journal page tutorial working over a collage background with granulating watercolors. This time I am using stamped tissue paper (using Inky Flowers) for the background and I adhere it with clear gesso. Of course a good alternative would be to use a printed tissue instead of a stamped one. I am working in my smaller watercolor journal from Kunst und Papier. I combine the collage background with a bird from our Textured Birds stamp set. Scroll down for a video tutorial.

The 100 Day Project 2025 – Vintage Collag Ephemera

Hi there, Susanne here with a new YouTube video. Today I am sharing my second item for the #100dayproject2025. Officially it starts tomorrow Feb. 23rd 2025. I combine some positive thoughts and gratitude with collage fodder. I already prepared 100 tiny envelopes (die from Waffle Flower – very old), which I’ve cut from gelli prints and old book papers and I am going to write something positive or something that I am grateful for or happy about into each of these envelopes. I am doing that everyday for 100 days and then I am going to create a collage ephemera piece with that envelope and scrap pieces from my stash. Only paper scraps and “ready-to-go” stamped images are allowed!
