Imagine Collage Card

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Today's card is another collage card (I love collage and putting together old fashioned things).  It's a little different because I have used an Accucut die that cuts out a colorblock design that I have used as compartments.  (I must say that I love Accucut dies, they have some amazing designs.)

The colorbox diecut was made with plain black cardstock.  I outlined it in gold and then sprayed gold over it in droplets.  I did this by whacking my pen against my scissors (an oldie but goodie!).  I attached it using double thicknesses of mounting tape to give it depth.

The card itself is ivory cardstock.  And the front mat is Tim's new kraft glassine which I embossed with the time piece folder and then colored in Pine Needles Distress ink from Ranger. 




As you can see, this card is very three-dimensional!  I love this kind of card style because I can use all the little "Fiddly-bits" as my older sister would say; and fill each compartment with a memory.

Some close ups for you to enjoy!



 I do love the new Typeset alphabet slim die from Sizzix.  (I used it for the word below.)  The letters are not perfect and I love the rough edges.


 I hope that you are inspired to make some collage cards of your own!

Thanks,Lis
