Mixed Media Collage with Gelli Prints and specialty papers

 



Hope you all have had a great week!  Victoria here to show you how to create a mixed media art collage using papers, adhesive and Dew Drops.  This creates a totally frameable art work for your home using simple ingredients with Dew Drop embellishment (glacier diamondsHydrangea Dew Drops, and Neon Blue Mini Dew Drops)  For the Gelli Prints I used papers from the late 1800s.  Can you believe it repurposing paper that is over 100 years old?  The paint colors are from Paper Artsy - Seth Apter's newest Southwest Colors.  The specialty papers are from Dick Blick and handmade.


Let's get started!



Ingredients:



Gelli printed papers, specialty papers or even junk mail can be used

Dew Drops (pick the colors that you like from the shop!)

Dry and liquid adhesive

140 lb/300gsm water color paper


Directions:

Gather your materials together



Rip you papers into the appropriate sizes, I use a ruler for an edge to rip

Adhere your papers to a piece of water color paper and allow to dry



Adhere embellishments



Adhere Dew Drops




Frame as desired

Isn't this a simple, fun project?!?
