This is my second collage attempt. I'm taking Mary's class at Green Papers Collage Club. (link on my sidebar). This lesson uses vintage papers torn into strips, gesso, and stamping. Some of the papers are Mary's from the class. I added a couple from the Graphics Fairy (music and shells). The focus image is another freebie from Bastelmania (link on my sidebar). I used Ranger Distress Inks in Tea Dye and Weathered Wood. Rubber stamps are Versailles Crest from Memory Box and Floral Stem from Stampabilities. I also dug out my Stampin' Up punch. The shell is one of the souvenirs we collected on the beach.
This card also qualifies for the card challenge hosted by DTer Starr over at Bella Creations. Her challenge, which ends on the last day of February, is to make a card using maroon, cream, and brown, ribbon or fibers, a quote, and something 3-D.
