Here’s another chunky collage.  The image of the little girl was from a crochet pattern book.  I just collaged on some papers, added some paint and did a little stamping.  I came across the plastic flower in my embellishment stash and loved that it matched the flowers on the background paper so well.

I am a tea drinker and just had to create a collage using the image of these two cute little girls having a tea party.  I really enjoy creating on the chunky canvases because the collaged sides just adds so much more to the piece.

I collaged on some papers, added some paint and did a little stamping.  I then glued on the image and words.  Once dry I used a charcoal pencil around the image and then smudged it a bit to make it stand out.

I have a few more of these in the works.  So much fun!

Happy Creating!

Shot Through the Heart

I kept hearing the Jon Bon Jovi song, You Give Love a Bad Name, on the radio and couldn’t get it out of my head.  I got the idea for this collage from words in the song.  My favorite part is the arrow.  I looked everywhere I went for something to use as an arrow and nothing really called out to me.  I finally found it at the Mission Mart.  It was upside down in a glass case and had a pin on the back.   I just knew it was going to be what I was looking for and it was.

I clipped off the pin to get the arrow to lay flat, and then glued it on the collage.   I  like the contrast between the aged look of the collage and the shiny diamond arrow.   It was hard to get a good shot of it showing the faux diamonds all sparkly, but they do sparkle so pretty.

Thanks for stopping by.
