“Joy, Hope, Love,” A Mixed Media Triptych

I was inspired by the beautiful bird images from the Vintage Birds Collage Pak.  I also wanted to work on three canvases to show how quickly you can make a series of art!  For the colors, I was inspired by this beautiful tissue paper I found at a recent Target shopping trip.  And being the tissue paper lover that I am, I HAD to find a way to incorporate this into my art!  It also goes to show you that you don’t need expensive materials to create beautiful works of art!  I also love to have words on my journal pages or other artwork, and the “Words, Words, Words” stencil is my favorite for that.  I thought since it was the New Year, it would be nice to have some encouraging words that I would like to focus on for 2018.  I hope you enjoy the  video tutorial and that you have a year full of love, hope and joy!
