Collage Challenge - Weeks 11 and 12

Week 11

Prompts:

1) a flower (digital floral image)

2) a foreign language (French script paper in upper right)

3) stitching, real, drawn or stamped (I machine-stitched the left side of the floral

image to a mat; also drew stitch lines around hexagons)

4) a measurement (ruler and a piece of sewing pattern showing

body measurements  - tan paper in center)

5) something torn (script paper, sewing pattern paper, floral image,

dark green strip)

Bonus: geometric shapes (punched hexagons from 

various patterned papers

I like the color combo on this page and am pleased with how it came out.

Week 12

Prompts:

1) a comic (vintage comic strip in upper left corner)

2) architecture (the old building lower right corner)

3) something cold (image of two boys sledding in snow - 

also added some snowflakes)

4) a favorite word (stamped cherish and also definition)

5) a bird (two in upper right corner_

Bonus: stamping in non-black ink (stamped postal marks 

in green on background page, upper right corner)

I added some labels, patterned paper and number washi tape to complete the collage. I was surprised this turned out so "vintagey" but it started with the comic I found.

I am really enjoying these collages this year and the "planner/collage book" from Margarete Miller. The size (approximately 5.5" w x 9" h) is perfect for a quick project without having to cover too much real estate.
