Today I show you how I incorporate a black and white coloring page into a mixed media piece. It was so much fun and super easy to do.

The background has so much yummy grunge and texture with just paint and adding collage to the coloring page gives it so much for depth.

I also share how I was surprised by beauty this week and how I could have missed it.

I hope you enjoy the video and you can still get your free coloring pages in the shop. We will be playing with them on Fridays for the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
