For today's MIX140 HOPE challenge from Dina, which I combined with Teresa's Freestyle Collage challenge for HYCCT.
Sorry I can't remember all the details of the bits I assembled for my collage. The leaves are very shimmery, so I'm pretty sure there are Perfect Pearls on them and probably distress inks. The bird was left from a TLC challenge, cut from a foil baking dish, coloured and embossed with UTEE. The feather is bisters on glossy card, stamped with Four Feathers and cut out - I could have sworn I had more of them. I thought that both the leaves and the feather picked up on the colours in my background which was in the reject box because the circles bled when I tried stencilling with too-wet whatever I used - I think it was Gelatos on a watercoloured background.
After stamping the sentiment from Verve, and grey grass in the foreground, I embossed the panel with TE Raindrops ef, mounted on a white base and added a silver border with a Sakura pen. Plenty of mixed media here!
