I made a steampunk style collage today for the Mix..my smooth elements are the stamp with glossy accents, the brad mustaches and the bg paper. The bg paper is something I made with a collage artist I know..she showed me how to take a glossy magazine sheet (Nat'l Geo) and apply some solvents to get a really unique result. It's super messy and I'm not sure I remember the steps to do it but I have several pages to use for cards. My rough mediums include distressed edges, distress stickles, and some flakes (not sure what they're called). For the F4A I have included 3 mustaches and 3 bridges (you have to look hard to spot all three).

Lovely and interesting card with your trio of bridge images and fun little mustaches, Polly. The man and the Montgolfier hot air balloon are a great counterbalance.

What a wonderful collage card. Sounds like lots of steps to a marvelous creation. The three mustaches and bridges are a great take on today's F4A challenge.
