Recently I purchased some beautiful vintage wallpaper from Paperbag Studios Online Shoppe. I'm never disappointed in the offerings, there, and the wallpaper was no exception.
I decided to create a little sample using one of the wallpaper designs as a background on this 5 x 5 hardboard piece. I combined the background with some stamping from the Little Feet unmounted stamp sheet from Paperbag Studios (the same sheet I used on the altered baby shoes; see earlier post below).
The small image of the two little girls, there, is actually a tiny cabinet card that I had picked up in my travels. I adhered it to the piece with gel medium and added crackling compound along the sides, distressing with acrylics; hand-tinting with oil pastels. I embellished with some small flowers, beading and a glass pebble.
Once the collage was done, I decided to make this into a hanging piece and used beaded fringe for the hanger.
We have another weekend approaching; I wish, for you, a safe and happy day and a wonderful upcoming weekend!!!!
Much love to all of you..................................Marilyn xxoo
