Tips for Using These Free Mixed Media Collage Sheets
- Create Depth with Layers
Start by printing the collage paper and using it as a background. Add transparent or semi-transparent layers on top to create depth. You could layer with tissue paper, translucent paint, or even more prints from our collection for a rich, dimensional look.. - Cut and Arrange
Use scissors or a craft knife to cut specific shapes or elements from the printable. Arrange them in different orientations to bring flow and rhythm to your piece. For example, cutting out leaf shapes from this design could add a natural, organic feel to your journal pages. - Combine with Personal Elements
Layer your own drawings, doodles, or handwriting over the collage print. These additions make the piece truly yours and add an element of storytelling to your journal. - Experiment with Textures
Try printing on textured paper or even fabric for a unique effect. You’ll be amazed at how different the same design can look depending on the material.
