Layered Creativity: Watercolor, Mandalas, and Burlap Pages

In this video, I dive into a mixed media art journal project, working with a unique two-page spread in my Dina Wakley journal. On the watercolor paper page, I create a vibrant abstract painting layered with a striking stenciled mandala design. On the opposite burlap page, I upcycle pieces of old artwork, cutting them into circles to craft a cohesive yet contrasting layout. This tutorial is packed with tips and techniques for combining textures, colors, and upcycled art to create dynamic and inspiring journal spreads. Whether you're a seasoned art journaler or just looking for new ideas, this video will spark your creativity!
