Collage mini book

I enrolled for Seth Apter's class in June 2020. I as usual started it late,so to make up for it I gave it my best.

I am proud of the project and how it turned out.

I tried maintaining theme of vintage or circular throughout the book. I also added collage in different ways, sometimes covering entirte page with papers others cutting papers in different shapes or patterns.

I collaged using papers left from different projects or from scrapbook and also incorporated what the collage techniques I learnt in Gwen Lafleur's classes.

I used paints, oxides, inks, crayons, colour pencils, posca, acrylic inks and pens with embossing. I have started watching Tim's Saturday videos and have got hooked to Distress products which I used extensively. I also printed out pictures from graphics fairy on rice paper (this doesnt bleed when collaged).

Detailed pictures of each page is in Instagram.

Below picture was done by collaging bits of papers over entire page.

Two fold pages with lot of rich colors.

The ligh bulb and balloon were printed from graphic fairy.

Hope you liked my BB-8 drawing.

I collaged different pieces and then drew circles and painted around circles. Circles were later stenciled.

Pieces of paper were stenciled into diamond shapes,cut and collaged.

Resist It - Week 6 2021

For Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Resist It The background was done with loads of colors using Distress oxides. I wanted the background to be important part of the piece, so I decided to create resist pattern.I used Stencilgirl Gwen Lafleur's stencil with versamark watermark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I ensured that I placed the stencil so the different colors were present in the resist pattern. I then covered the rest of background with shades of brown Distress Oxide (oxide being opaque covered the bright colors). I used Distress inks on top of oxide to get more vibrant shade. The corners were stamped and heat embossed with gold. The focal image consists of filigree chipboard which was embossed with chunky and fine embossing powders in different shades of gold. The medallion in the middle is two circular cardstock pieces placed one on top of the other. Outer circle was decorated with seed beads and bugle while inner circle has rhineston...
