Couldn't resist making another for Teresa's Cancer Free HYCCT Challenge to make a Freestyle Collage. I've done a stmaped collage bg and added some other elements too. Earlier today in the chat thread someone mentioned embossing paste and I just had to go use some, I make my own and it smells like baby powder. This also meets the Mixability Challenge. I had this stamped piece in my scrap pile. I think I might have cleaned a brayer over the piece that had stamped Script and Baroque Motif flourish on it. I have a home made stencil cut with the Damask pattern. I scraped my embossing paste through it. I kind of like how the ink bled through. I added some stamping from the Strength and Hope set. This sort of spoke Shabby Chic to me so I did some distressing and added the layered lace. I guess I still had this week's sketch on my mind so I went ahead and placed my circle element up there. I stamped off the ink once to stamp the H lighter. I sponged the edges but it was a bit too harsh so I took my blender pen and spread the color around a bit more. I layered over another circle which I distressed. I punched my pin through and popped it over the lace. I tried out some colored bases, but decided to go with white instead. It was a little too stark so I stamped the Sanded bg on it.
