I came across this fantastic journal artist through Julie Fei Fan Balzers Art Journal Everyday site. Her name is Sandra van der Geest, and she does fantastic collaged journal pages using magazine images and colorful backgrounds. Instead of a journal page, we will use her same techniques on canvas or chipboard.

Here is the link to her tutorial with several completed collages to look at for inspiration: http://tinyurl.com/Sandravandergeest
