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!!!

Playing along with GPP Network Street Team!


This is soo much fun! I've been scraping everything since yesterday...I even had to go out any buy more paint today!

I discovered the GPP Street Team Crusades blog Saturday, and Crusade # 44 ROCKS! This simple technique has opened up an entire new world for me. I visited all the blogs of the fabulous ladies who had already completed the challenge and was so wired I painted most of the night, lol!
There are some incredible examples of great art at this site - go check it out for yourself -

The talented Michelle Ward hosts a challenge each month that I am going to push myself to try. I'll post updates as I explore this fun technique. Try it - it's FUN!
