I just had to try making a collage card for today's Ways to Use it challenge. It's my first one and I had an idea what I wanted to do, but I can see that I need a whole lot more practice.
I stamped a woodgrain stamp for the bg on cream CS, then lightly stamped the fern several times, added a few dragonflies and butterflies, then the rose "vine" at the bottom in bolder colors. Finally the circle and the sentiment to be the focal point. I sponged the whole piece with three different colors altho they don't show up much. I distressed the edges of the dp mat, and attached to green Core'dinations CS. This card took at least 1 1/2 hours to make. I think my main problem with collage is composition - I just don't "get" how to pull things together.
