Compendium Challenge No 6

We are now on Challenge No 6 at Linda's Studio L3 where you will find the details on what to do to join in. This one is called Multi-Medium Collage, and Tim's Compendium will give you all the instructions. Here I can tell you what I used.

I started with card and stuck to it some of Tim's paper cut on one edge with a die. I changed the colour of the paper by using Old Paper Distress Ink and stamped all over it with a flourish. Old French/French dictionary pages stuck to card provided the die-cut leaves, and a rummage in my chipboard shapes box produced the flower, and I coloured the leaves and flower with Old Paper. I had seen Hels on her Ink on my Fingers blog use a memo pin and Ranger enamel to make a flower, so here I decided to have a go with a jump ring and the black enamel to make the centre of the flower. Then I stamped the little 'heart songs' lady on card, cut her out and 'old-papered' her. Then I added some bits of tissue tape and finished off by highlighting leaves, flower and tape with Rock Candy Stickles.

  1. Oh, this is COOL! I love the multi-medium technique on the delicate leaves, and your little princess with her matching crown and wings is WONDERFUL! Great colors and clever little embellishments, too!

    When a piece of art can make me smile before I've had my morning coffee, it's pretty special, and this made me smile BIG! ♥
