Creative alternatives instead of giving up! Don't have the same materials? Here's how anyway!

I'm sure many of us can relate to this situation: You're engrossed in a KZread video, and something catches your eye, something you instantly fall in love with. What's the natural reaction? You rush to your craft room, grab your journal, all set to bring that inspiring idea to life. But then it dawns on you that you don't have the exact materials showcased in the video.
And then what happens? Sadly, you might just close your journal and give up on the idea altogether. That's disheartening! But fear not, we can turn this around and discover alternatives that make any idea work, even if you don't have the same materials as the creator in the video!

    This is a very eclectic design. What I love most of your approach is it is always to push the use of the mediums, to see what new effects can result. That's what mastery is all about! I had to laugh about sneaking in the little bats, which is a precursor to Tim's demo today! LOL ❤

    Another idea might be to make your own ink. Cake decorating pastes or powdered are like under $10 for a set of colors, spray bottles at the dollar store. A color wheel to mix your own colors. Make up sponges from the dollar store can work for daubers. Think out side the box peoples!😊

    I think I have heard your name mentioned on some of the other junk journal channels that I watch. I was browsing and found this video and was intrigued by the title. Since I am relatively new to junk journal creation I was very interested in seeing how to create with what I have. I absolutely love it! I "inherited scrapbook paper, embossing medium, inks, oxides, paint, stencils, and stamps from my daughter-in-law when they moved. This was perfect in that I have some of the things you used but it has also inspired me to think outside the box and be inventive. Thank you so very much.

    Love your video. It triggers ideas for alternatives, using my own supplies. I think some people treat art/craft tutorials like a cake recipe, thinking they require the exact same ingredients. They are actually a licence to try something new with your own supplies or use something in an unexpected way. It's permission to experiment!

    Exactly! My Mum is one of those who has always found it hard to imagine how to use different items to implement a technique or look she likes, while my brain goes wild with ideas & even if I tried to copy something it would make changes lol. She has always needed to copy an idea with the same items, but has been doing a calligraphy class that has helped give her confidence to experiment & create new things using the technique rather than the specific materials.

    I wasn't aware that there was translucent texture paste. The effect is wonderful! I have glossy ModPodge, and I wonder whether I could achieve a similar effect. But the ModPodge might be too thin a consistency to use with a stencil. I'll try it and see what happens. I just had a thought. What would happen if you spritzed an inkjet-printed image to smudge it on purpose? You might get some interesting effects???
