We have a great new challenge for you at Craft-Room Challenge this fortnight. Selected by Esther, a crafter after my own style and very good at it! Esther is looking for collage, simple as that a picture or art work made by sticking and layering images and mediums. We are also very pleased to have Indigo Blu as our sponsor again, one lucky winner will receive a fabulous prize.
No surprise then that for the front cover of another sketch book or journal I've used stamps from three Indigo Blu sets. The cover is wood chip given a thin coat of gesso just to knock the wood back a bit. Then using distress inks and masks the collage was stamped out on the cover. Next some of the main images were stamped onto DP and fussy cut. The cog stamp top right has been used with glue and gilding flakes.
Check out the rest of the team's fantastic inspiration pieces they are simply gorgeous. See you over at Craft-Room Challenge
There is a new challenge Anything but a Card and as is the norm they are starting with an anything goes type of theme, anything but a card that is!

Oh now I get it, so sorry to hear your plans fell through and do hope you find a reliable builder how annoying. Love this gorgeous collage and the bright blue cog is a stunner really jumps out at you.

What a fabulous creation Zoe! I love how you've put this together, the stamping looks great and I love the splashes of colour. I'm so sorry your builder has gone out of business, but on the plus side, at least you've not paid him.

I love how you have used the Indigoblu stamps here Zoe, it's a fantastic composition. Adore the splash of blue, so creative. So sorry about the blasted builder, like Maria said at least you haven't parted with any hard earned cash. So looking forward to seeing you at the wedding, only 3 weeks to go!!!!! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteThe blue Ger you have used Zoe really pops aginst the other elements you have used for your clever collage. Thank you for joining us at Antything But A Card Challenge.
