Doing more of what I enjoy

Sharing a Mixed Media piece today that has been gradually worked on over the last few days.   If I try to approach something with a complete layout in mind it tends not to work.  So the base, in this case A4 grey board, a sheet of rice paper and some stencil embossing, were the starting point.   Everything else is built up and evolves on that base.

Perhaps the trickiest part was die cutting the sticky back cork, you have to use wax paper or the die destroys the cork sheet.  Then removing all the little elements without tearing the cork takes time and patience.  Various mediums used here as well, Imagination Crafts Starlight Paints, and Alchemy Wax, The stencil is from them as well.  Dreamweaver crackle embossing paste and Glimmer mists.  The torn tag held in the clip stamped with Versafine and them given a covering of Distress Inks.

As soon as it felt balanced and right I stopped.  Now I would like to share it with:
