Word Collage

Hello Everyone,

Or maybe I should say good afternoon/ evening. Sorry that I am

posting so late today. The reason for being so late today is that this

weekend I was a little under the weather. I caught some type of

stomach bug so today I was playing catch up.

Earlier in the month I talked about taking a little different direction

in my blog and my creations. I talked about how you would be seeing

some gradual changes. In my header picture is a word collage that I

created. It seems that Subway Art and Word Collages are the in thing

right now. I took a good look at these different art forms and thought

to myself how could this be done without spending a lot of money.

This is what I came up with

As many of us paper crafters we have an assortment of stamps so I

took out all my word stamps and some Staz On ink and I just started

stamping on some scraps. I then moved on to and 8" x 11.5" white

cardstock. Here is a closer look at it. As I thought about it more I wasn't satisfied with it just being on

cardstock because that limited me to what I could use it for. Since

I have a scanner I scanned the page. I then printed my design to

tracing paper. (Tracing paper is a little heavier than tissue paper.)

Now with it on the tracing paper I could do all kinds of things with it.

I put it on a frame. It wasn't completely dry and I didn't want to mess

it up by moving it to get a picture. I'll show you what it turned out like

another day. With there being so many talented people out there and the in

thing changing so fast I want to try and help those out there that

are on limited budgets to be able to create by thinking outside the

box and using what you have. I hope that this helps others keep up

with the ever changing craft world.
