How to Use This Mixed Media Background

This free printable background is perfect for adding depth, emotion, and organic flow to your art projects. With its warm wood-grain textures, vivid pink florals, and layered, painterly details, it’s a rich visual base for layering, tearing, cutting, and collaging.

Ways to use it creatively:

  • Art Journaling: Use it as a full-page background to build on with stamps, handwritten text, or layered ephemera. The texture creates a dreamy, botanical woodland base that supports introspective or nature-inspired themes.
  • Junk Journals: Cut the sheet into strips, tags, or pockets. The natural bark and floral textures pair beautifully with vintage pages and aged paper tones.
  • Mixed Media Painting: Use it as a collage base on canvas or watercolor paper — layer acrylic paint, gesso, and other media on top to create contrast while the floral textures peek through.
  • Scrapbooking: Add warmth and visual interest to memory pages, especially those with garden, forest, or vintage family themes.
  • Card Making: Cut sections of the artwork as backing layers or focal panels — great for handmade thank-you, nature-themed, or romantic cards.
  • Decoupage & DIY Crafts: Use with Mod Podge on boxes, trays, or wooden surfaces. The soft floral and wood textures give a dreamy, handmade feel to any object.

Mixed media collage papers are a great way to get started as a newbie!    Everyone started their creative journey somewhere! Be kind to yourself and practice.  Remember mistakes are good, it means you're growing.  Have compassion and trust yourself.  The key is in the process not the end result (albeit inspiring if we like the final piece).  Relish in the journey!

Some of the visual elements featured in the designs may include artwork partially generated using artificial intelligence tools.  These elements are used as creative components and are combined with hand-drawings, paintings, gelli plates, photographs (unsplash) and digital work in Procreate.  All final compositions are original and curated by cosmicmoon.co as the artist.  The use of artificial intelligent-generated assets is disclosed in the interest of transparency and creative integrity.

I encourage you to work with the supplies you have and be flexible to adapt to your own needs.  There is nothing better than experimenting with different materials!  Some of the basics are: good quality paper, mod podge or gel medium, and either watercolor or acrylic paint, Caran D'ache watercolor wax pastels, and a mix-sized bunch of brushes.
