Wow! Are you all enjoying Sketchbook Challenge? I know I sure am! I REALLY loved this months challenge, which was all about patterns! I did a quick journal recently specifically to practice drawing faces. Faces are a challenge for me, so I try to practice them. However being a true ADHD mixed media artist, I get bored JUST sketching. So enter my patterns! I created the journal using patterns, and then sketched over the patterns because more is better in my book!
Step 2 1st layer of patterned printed paper. I used my line of large 8.5 x 11 stamps and Gelli Arts Geli Printing plate and printed on deli paper with acrylic paint in various colors.
Step 3 2nd layer of patterned printed paper, using a different color and building layer interest. The deli papers are translucent when created with Fluid Acrylics. To carry that translucency forward I used pan pastels. Notice the top picture's arm and face, you can see the text underneath her.

Your post caused a light bulb moment for me. I have always enjoyed looking at multimedia projects, but somehow they have never really worked for me. Your post today made me realize that I had always thought of them as being shape and pattern or picture and color, never combing them all.
Wow! I love your post that I linked to from the Sketchbook Challnege. I have some deli paper and now I have an idea what to do with it, thank you.
The canvas is looking great! And using pastels, too! Keep going. It can only get better and better.
