Update:

I used my decorative papers I've created over the years to create this festive St. Patrick's Day torn paper collage. I'm so thrilled with how it turned out. :) 

Check out how I created it over on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@elisabethwellfare/videos

 

Original Project:

I love creating patterned, decorative papers! And I had so much fun exploring each technique throughout the making of this class. Here's some of my decorative papers.

Here are my marbling papers.

These papers have stamping with bubble wrap, splatter, salt, marble, and plastic wrap techniques.

These were created on toned paper using plastic wrap and salt.

Afterward, I went back with papers I created in class and a few past decorative papers, cut them up, and created two landscape collages. It was really fun to layer them to build up foreground, middle ground, and background areas and play with what different orders of papers did to the overall feel of each landscape.
