Hi Everyone...........thank you so much for visitng today.....I really do appreciate your visits and comments.
Today I am sharing my DT make for this fortnight's challenge over at Craft Room Challenge blog, which is Picture Inspiration.
The first challenge theme of 2014 was chosen by one of our Facebook group members, Christine Cesar, who resides in France. Christine is an avid fan of collage and you can see the picture inspiration she provided over on our blog. HERE
The sponsor for this fortnight's challenge is Ali Craft and you can win a £10 voucher to spend online............I do hope you can join in the fun. It would be great to see you there :-)
I was inspired by the keys, metal and timepieces from Christine's picture :-) and I was desperate to use this 3" by 11" canvas :-)
I was inspired by the keys, metal and timepieces from Christine's picture :-) and I was desperate to use this 3" by 11" canvas :-)
I literally started off with my blank CANVAS :-) and applied texture paste through a harlequin stencil, then I painted with TH Distress Paint in Vintage Photo.
The La Blanche images were stamped on to tissue and adhered with CH Multi Medium in matte finish. I used TH Distress Markers in Tumbled Glass and Barn Door on the eyes and lips.
The mesh was adhered with some small TH brads and the ideaolgy pieces were painted with Ranger Adirondack Paint in Silver, then sanded to create an aged effect. I used Ranger Glossy Accents to adhere the wings to the timepiece and then on to the mesh.
Salty Ocean Distress Ink was applied through some TH stencils both at the bottom and top of the canvas, then some Treasure Gold Gilding wax in Sapphire was applied to the textured areas, finishing off with Walnut Stain DI to create definition around the edges.
I would also like to enter this project at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges, where the challenge theme is Blues.
Within my project I have applied Salty Ocean Distress Ink, Treasure Gold in Sapphire Blue and Distress Marker in Tumbled Glass.
Over at Country View Crafts the Challenge theme is Monochromatic and I have used Browns and Blues
At Sandee & Amelie's Steampunk Challenge you have to use some 'new stuff 'and I have used some of my new Ideaology pieces. ( Thank You Anne x )
Best Wishes to you all and I wish you all a very creative and Happy New Year
A beautiful collage Annie. I love the way you've layered your metal embellishments over the tissue image and added the stencil work. Jenny x

This sounds a fun challenge Annie and your make looks stunning. The mesh makes a fabulous statement in the middle of the canvas and hi-lights the stamping behind.

Hey Annie...I did not realize you've entered this into Simon Says Stamp's Monday Challenge!! So now, I had another reason to come back and look at it again! I'm still loving it ... just as I'd said a few minutes ago in another comment that I'd left. The texture, colors and collage of all of them is amazing! Thanks for sharing with all of us at the challenge. <3 Candy
