Today I had fun auditioning collage paper for this project. I love having the freedom to move things around… there’s no risk when using collage paper to start a project.

You can watch the youtube video OR…I’ll show you how I made the collage paper and I’ll give you a detailed breakdown of this project in the free preview section of the Mixed Media Insider Membership.

The doors to the membership are open for two weeks and there’s a free preview section that will give you a great idea of ALL the goodness in the membership. Plus you’ll get the details of today’s project.

I hope you enjoy the video and I hope to see you in the Membership! And always know that you are loved!

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
