A first in several ways...


This is my first collage; how did I ever get a minor in Art without making a collage, you ask? I have no answer for that! This is for the October GPP Street Team Challenge #45 and it's my first take on the challenge as well - lots of "firsts" lol!
I had no idea I was going to create a collage; I was merely going through a magazine before throwing it out......but creativity had other plans....
I don't know if anyone can see it in the picture, but I took some shimmery green-gold paint and mixed it with matte medium, painted it on a stamp and stamped over the cutouts. It gives a really cool ghost-y shimmer and glams it up a lot.

That was interesting; I may have to try more of that.....thanks Michelle for the inspiration and the challenge!!!

  1. Cindi - what?!! A minor in art and no collages? So fun that you had the impulse to ruffle through the magazine before throwing it out and ta-da, a page! Now get cracking on another!! The month is winding down :) Thanks for sharing with the team!
