Using the Cute & Grunge Digital Collage Papers and the Magpie Stencil by Bea Grob

There is something about early morning walks that opens the eyes and the imagination at the same time. For Marie of Mixed Creativity by Marie, those quiet hours outdoors are where art ideas are born — carried home like treasures gathered along the way.

“Like a magpie, I am a scavenger of shiny things.”— Marie, Mixed Creativity by Marie

On her morning walks, Marie regularly spots magpies — bold, black-and-white birds with an unmistakable elegance against a blue sky. When she discovered Bea Grob’s Cute & Grunge Digital Collage Papers, the connection was immediate: one of those papers simply had to become the background for an art journal page celebrating these birds she loves.

The result is a lively, layered journal page that combines the richness of the digital papers with the graphic precision of Bea’s Magpie stencil — and proves, once again, that with the right materials, creativity truly does just flow.

Materials she used: 

• Bea Grob stencil: Magpie  https://beagrob.com/product/a5-magpie/

• Bea Grob Digital paper kit Cut Grunge: https://beagrob.com/product/cute-grunge-digital-collage-papers-a4-300-dpi/
