How to do an easy collage journal page (and give yourself a boost of hope at the same time)

Video Description

Join me as I do a simple collage journal spread across two pages, based around the prompt 'it is better to light a candle than curse the dark'. I am working in the children's board book I prepared in this video:https://youtu.be/Iyrb0-xltQ8 Of course you can use whatever journal you like. Start by collecting scraps of paper in your chosen colour scheme and arrange them in a nice gradient. I went white, yellow, orange, red, black. And I used everything from a sandwich bag to an old envelope. Here are some things you might find useful, but don't run out and buy things especially!
