SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #92 J is for Jumble

Greetings Snarky peeps!

Edna and the Sisters welcome you to our new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

J is for Jumble!

What's that mean? We want you to try your hand at a collage! 

Whether it be on a card, layout, canvas, whatever, we want to see it!

I created a mixed media canvas board:

As usual, I stalked Pinterest for inspiration, and came across this lovely collage by Pamela Towns.

(Thank you Pamela for being my muse!) Of course, I took the bones of her

gorgeous creation and went off on a mixed media tangent. 

I really intended to take pictures along the way, but I only got so far, and then 

I got so in the creative zone, I forgot to take more pictures. 

watered down acrylic paint - still wet.

I let this dry overnight.

Once the paint dried, I attached the long strip of ephemera with matte medium.

After that dried, I used a stencil and embossing paste in a couple corners.

I left this to air dry overnight.

At this point, I totally forgot to take pictures.

The hemp cord I braided myself. Except for the flower, sentiment and cord, all

the bits and pieces came from one ephemera pack. The flower was stamped

and fussy cut, and the swirl stamp is from the same stamp set.

 I thought it needed some bling, so I found some

ancient pearls to stick to the center of the flowers.

I'm actually quite pleased by how well this turned out. Collage is

not my strength, so I really fussed about placement of items forever on this.

I hope you find some time to play along in our Jumble challenge at the 

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! I can't wait to see what you create!
