Collage

Morning everyone!

Are you beginning to panic?

To help you stay calm we

have a lovely collage for you

today from

Karen Gist:

Gently remove the book covers from the ring bound spine.

Cover them with pieces of printed paper using matt medium

I have an old dictionary and a ready reckoner

that I use for this

Collage small pieces of patterned paper onto

some copier paper

I used scraps that I have but you could use any

type of paper, magazines, etc

Paint over the covers with DecoArt Cobalt Teal Hue

As it is a transparent paint, the print shoes through

nicely.

Stamp the smallest stamp from the set using Stazon

and when dry flick some white acrylic over the top

While this is drying stamp and emboss the large flower

head and the stem onto the patterned paper collage 

Cut out and glue to the cover

Replace the covers onto the ring bound spine and

decorate with ribbon and beads as shown.

I attached the beads by threading them onto cotton 

adding a line of Liquid Glass and then laying the

beads over the top before carefully pulling out the cotton.  

It is such a quick and easy way of going it.

Materials used:

A6 Book

PaperArtsy Eclectica ELB16 

DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics - Cobalt Teal Hue

DecoArt Mixed Media - Matt Medium, Liquid Glass  

Beads

Ribbon

Thank you Karen

I think this would make a lovely gift

and not just for Christmas.........

See you tomorrow
