Peace collage

Photo Details

Poster: blessingsX3

So I spent this past weekend with one of my best friends, Korin AKA sweetnsassystamps, and she taught me how to make a collage. It seemed like it should be an easy thing to do but not for me who tends to lean towards clean lines lol. Anyway, after several failed attempts, this is what I came up with. All edges were distressed with scissors and sponged. I actually kinda like it and may be willing to try it again sometime :). Thanks for looking!

All images are from Sweet N Sassy stamps

A lovely collage Christmas card with beautiful soft colors. Love the bit of lace and heavily distressed outer edge of the base panel.

It always feels odd to try something that is not our normal style, but looks like you hit the nail on the head with this one! I like the distressed shabby chic appearance of this pretty card, Janette! Your sponging is perfect and so are the color choices~

Lucky girl. You had an excellent teacher and you were an excellent student because this is unbelievable. Caught my eye in the gallery and I just had to take a closer look. Bravo.
