In this video I share my process of creating neutral papers for junk journals. Using a variety of materials like ledger paper, masking tape, acrylic paint, and more, I demonstrate how to achieve a beautiful, neutral background for your creative projects.
From adding coffee stains to using handmade foam stamps, I share my techniques for making these papers messy and fun.
Whether you want to use them for collage (think tags, cards, art journal pages) or as base papers for your junk journal, these neutral papers add depth and character to whatever you create.
