Alright, now time for a little inspiration!  And don't forget it doesn't stop here, there are multiple designers being featured on each blog all week long, so don't miss out on all the fun to be had!!!

 

It's collage time again!  Sometimes I just go through these phases of making tons of collages. I think it could be just how fun they are to make, and the techniques for creating are endless!  This collage was designed using Graphic 45's A Ladies Diary combined with An ABC Primer.  The background was created using layers and layers of inks followed by gesso, then acrylic paint.  Matte medium was mixed with the paint to give it a more transparent look, allowing us to see the yummy G45 papers used.

 

The Ladies were my inspiration for this collage.  Once they were cut out they looked like they were standing on a corner together.  Adding dimension with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D foam squares gave it so much more depth, and giving the view from an angle that I was looking for!

 

 

After figuring out their positioning, the ladies needed to be doing something.  So I found this wonderful train image I had, that just seemed to be the exact angle I needed. 

 

 

To tie the whole thing together, I added this little advertisement strip cut from A Ladies Diary.  Oh, and the cute little dog that just needed to be there was cut from An ABC Primer.  Now I feel like it is an old fashioned advertisement on canvas, with the women modeling their wears!! 

I love it when things just fall into place, sometimes these collages can be a little unforgiving. 

 

Well ladies and gentlemen, that is all the inspiration I have for you today!  I sure hope you enjoyed my project today, and are having a wonderful time Hopping.  Don't forget, the hop is all week long, so lots more inspiration and lots more chances to win that wonderful prize pack!!

Many thanks, and lots of love!!  Have a outstanding Tuesday!!!
