3 Key Takeaways:
- Learn how to integrate found papers and textured elements to build rich, expressive journal pages.
- Experiment with layering and mark-making to add depth and personality to your work.
- Explore creative, playful techniques that turn each page into a meaningful reflection of you.
Mixed Media Artist Resource Library
Free printables, collage papers, creative prompts & how-to guides
I’ve put together a free resource library designed just for you, packed with everything you need to fuel your creativity. It’s my way of giving back to the mixed media community with resources to inspire your next project. Click here to join.
What You’ll Learn
1 - Found Papers Library
Brown bags, envelope bits, tea-dyed napkins & more—download your PDF list from my Artist Resource Library!
2 - Grungy Collage Mastersheet
Tear, glue, then swipe colored glue for a unified yet wild base.
Stamp, drag, and scribble with corrugated cardboard, bottle caps, sponges—there are no mistakes, only extra under-layers.
3 - Journal Assembly & Accents
Fold or bind your pages, then layer in backgrounds, doodles, stencils, and more. Grab the step-by-step PDF guides from your Resource Library.
(Pro Tip: Photograph each stage to see your scraps transform into textured stories!)
Art Journal Prompts
To help you get more creative, I’ve shared a curated list of Grungy Art Journal prompts:
Backgrounds – Set the tone and texture of your page.
Accents – Add playful surprises, layers, or focal details.
How to Use These Prompts
Pick a Background: Try one per page—maybe a bold Grunge Wash here, a moody Brayer Blur there.
Add an Accent: Choose from 20 ideas—layer a Fabric Veil over a Folded Reveal, or mix Cluster Pocket with Ragged Borders.
Mix & Match: There’s no “right” way—some spreads might be simple, others wild. Trust your eye and enjoy the play
