Midweek post

 Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing a collage made during the Lifebook Taster Sessions with Amanda Trought. This was a many layered collage:

We started off by making a collage:

I gave the collage a coat of gesso:

Then I did a layer of scribbling with oil pastels:

The next layers were with structure paste:

Then another layer gesso:

Then it was time to start doodling and working with stencils:

As as there are 2 small birds on it, I am linking to Wendy's challenge at AJJ.

Sunrise:

By the Rhine:

The seagulls were bobbing along in the river:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our wonderful Wendy is hosting and has chosen the theme of 'Texture'. You can read more about it on our blog, and see the wonderful samples she has created for our inspiration. I made a very quick and easy tag - time is not on my side just now. The frame for the bridal couple was made with gold embossing paste, the couple is from TH:

And I have an A3 mixed media page for Wendy's 'birds' challenge at AJJ.

The owls were stamped, fussy cut and adhered to the page, as were the circles and squares:

And a selection of birds, large and small, taken at various times to fit in with the bird theme:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
