Collage on Kraft Card

This idea of my collage came together over a couple of days, I have this car stamp by Indigo Blu. I wanted a feel of falling!

Inked up the stamp and stamped 3 impressions, each one fading out..

I introduced some red via the top part of the packaging from some dry cat food!

Torn, Ripped and Burnt Collage

This fortnight PaperArtsy have a great challenge called Torn, Ripped and Burnt. Darcy has provided a wealth of inspiration, they can be found here.

My inspiration for the substrate came from Claire Snowdon. I used whole pages from a magazine and off set each page before glueing together.

I have been working with parchment recently, so had a go at some burnt highlights. I was in the garden, and took lighter direct to the parchment, It started to bubble, and after 5 seconds caught fire, so if trying this make sure you are outside.

I used a sample of silk fabric and tore into strips along with some medical gauze.

I liked the way the threads started to come away, so used these along with the medical gauze to create some texture and a sense of movement.

With a scrap of calico, I made a small cut and gently ripped to create a open frame for my fish, Mini 100 from Paperartsy.

Great fun, great to play with fabrics and fibres..

I like the effect of removing part of a photograph, here I have used a craft die to remove some sections..

Love the painterly background and the white enamel marker.

Paper Collage on Re purposed Packaging.

The background came first, I had made some mark making tools and tried them out with my walnut ink.

I have had the biscuit for ages that was cut from the packaging!!

I chose not to completely cut around the chap, like that look.

Shades of White Collage

This fortnight PaperArtsy have a fab challenge called shades of White, follow the link!

Darcy has provided a wealth of inspiration, I have come up with this...

On an old book page, my first layer of white was provided by using Pebeo Modelling Paste. This is a soft 'wet' medium, I let this dry for a while before pushing some stamps into it using ELB34 set from PaperArtsy.

The next layer was using PaperArtsy Grunge Paste, a lovely thick paste, again I pushed several of the same stamp set into the wet paste.

After some thought, I decided to use a piece of parchment, I stamped PaperArtsy Mini 19 with Distress Ink Picket Fence. This was my 'guide' as I used a ball tool to highlight some of the numbers.

I added a piece of white scrap card for a further layer of white and to help holding the parchment in place.

A white paper clip make for a great hanger!!

Paper Collage and Paint!

I have been exploring adding a layer of paint after making a collage. This comprises of some stamping and some old book pages. Added some gesso and a sprinkling of Paper Artsy Infusions in Black Knight.

Paper and Card Collage.

Really pleased how this one turned out...

I love the simple design of the hand bag..

A piece of parchment and some orange card, simple and not over fussy.
