Following The Script....

Hello everyone!
 
I am so pleased to finally be able to announce that I am joining the Design Team at 'Try it on Tuesday'. I am sooooo happy!I have always loved their challenges and I am so honoured to have been asked to be part of the very talented design team......

      So today I am here to show you my creation for the 'Try it on Tuesday' new challenge - 

'Collage with a twist' 

          

- The collage must contain some form of script.....

         

     This started with finding a rectangle of corrugated card that I had put in my craft stash where I store all the MDF tags, door hangers, paper mache houses and substrates and various other 'starter' pieces such as plain frames, crockery, bags and many other goodies. I love the whole recycling aspect of crafts.....

     The colour scheme in my head at this point was white and brown and I had no idea where I would go with that. I had some saved bits of the 'Melange' tissue paper so that made a good start. Applying it to the cardboard after coating it with Snowflake Fresco paint. I then stencilled using the 'Art is' stencil and covered half the cardboard with paste.

    After that was dry I covered it all again with Snowflake Fresco paint leaving the moths bare as I wanted to retain the darkness of the images, but the paint helped blend in the wording.

    I then began to dry brush the card with Mocha Mousse and Irish Cream Fresco paint and added some French Roast as well. I then stamped some script stamp with Archival coffee ink.

White lace was applied down the sides of the card and some sticks gathered from my garden were attached to the card along with some rusty wire.

White roses were dabbed with some Vintage Lace Fresco paint and stuck onto the card along with some die cut leaves that had been painted with Old Gold Fresco paint and had crackle paint applied and then had French Roast paint rubbed into the cracks.

   
















I attached a twig to the top of the card and wound rusty wire around it to form a hanger, and then to finish it off I applied a little Treasure Gold in White Fire around the edges and over the stencil lettering.

         So there is my hanging made from old cardboard! - Far better than chucking it into the bin!

     Please hop on over to see what the rest of the Try it on Tuesday design team have created and why not make your own collage and join in with the fun! 

                                See you all soon!
