Craft-Room Challenge - Collage

Well I might not be around much over the next couple of weeks.  The house is being re-wired and a new bathroom fitted.   Very exciting but all my crafty goodies will have to be put away so I've been frantically trying to get all my DT projects ready ahead of time!

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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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
