Collage and Memory Box "Chloe Stem" Die Cut

 

Today, I have had a quick play with some of the collage papers I made when taking part in the "Collage Breakthrough" course, making this page.

Once the papers were stuck into position, I used a Memory Box "Chloe Stem 98321" die, cut in white card, adding it over the patterned papers.

I used a roll of sticky tape and a black fine liner pen to draw the inner and outer circle.  I then used a gold coloured gel pen to add dots within the cicle.

I added a verse sticker that says "learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow", finally adding five sticky backed black gem stones.

Catherine Rains "Collage Breakthough" - Lesson 3

Today, I have watched the Day 3 video by Catherine Rains "Breakthrough Collage" course nd made my two four inch collages.  I've used the off cut of papers used from the previous two lessons.  The brief was to leave open space round the edge of the collage.

Also, Cat tells us how we can make our own embellishments uing paints on tissue paper.

Catherine Rains "Collage Breakthrough" Lesson 1 and 2

I am not in my normal crafting mode, so decided to do something a little different - collage.  On-line I saw an ad for a free collage course, do decided to sign up.  It's run by Catheriine Rains and is called "Collage Breakthrough".  It's a step by step course on how papers work together, whether they're quiet or patterned.  Catherine also guides on how to create your patterned papers.

Lesson one was using two papers one patterned and one quiet.

Lesson two was using  three pieces of collage paper, in each grid there were to be two quiet and one patterned or one quiet and two patterned.

I found it surprising how long I deliberated on the positions and sizes of the papers.
