Mixed media collage art tutorial ❤️ Paper craft Valentines

I finally have a good excuse to experiment more with mixed media and collage! I've got an art tutorial on how I make paper Valentines in postcard form, ready to mail out.
The mixed media art I'm doing in this video is using acrylic paint in vibrant pinks and reds, for a valentine-theme. I'm also using rubber stamps, washi tape, and postage stamps to finish the collage, of course!
The first part (mixed media collage art on a large piece of paper) is the most fun, actually. Once I had that cut down into smaller rectangles, then I collaged the valentines with washi tape and other papers.
This is a super fun mixed media + collage art project ❤️. It's an excuse to use bright colors that I normally wouldn't use with collage.
Here are more examples of holiday-themed postcards:

    Margarete:using that calendar for a base is clever. Since it already has lines and numbers on it, it would be less intimidating for a person to had their own stuff to it. A very good teaching idea, especially for a beginner. Your explanations on video are very clear and concise. Excellent! Carol from California

    Great ideas for a non-traditional Valentine. One tip for when you're stippling (short i, like hippo) with acrylic paint, in addition to using less paint, "pounce" the brush straight up and down against the stencil rather than swiping. You'll get a cleaner image that way because the paint is less likely to seep under the stencil. Thanks for another inspiring video!

    @@MargareteMiller Thank you! I always tend to avoid ordering items from Etsy and eBay because the shipping to Canada often costs more than the item itself. I will look though and send some of those items to my daughter's house in the States if I see some stamps that I like. Do you ever use the inexpensive silicone clear stamps? I have never. tried a clear stamp.
