After dinner tonight I sneaked out to the craft room again for one more card. One of my favourite things to do whilst sipping my morning coffee is blog surf. Yesterday morning I was poking around on Heather Telford's site Bits & Pieces and saw her series of collage cards. Her creations are stunning and I pinned one with this colour scheme to make for later. I didn't think I'd get to it until at least tomorrow, but I just couldn't wait.
The colours I've used for this card are Summer Starfruit, Lucky Limeade, and Old Olive. I started by inking up En Francais with SS, then stamped it off once before daubing a little OO and LL on there as well. The rest of the images are from Papaya Collage. Oh, that's not entirely true. That swirly guy up the right is a the Baroque Borders wheel (now retired). I hate the wheels, but love the images so I rip the rubber off the wheel and make it into a long skinny stamp instead. This way I can get full coverage, and blend the colours if I want to.
I love collage cards and this one is a keeper! I think you combined the colors and images beutifully!
