Free to Fly, a Collage Card

Free to Fly, a Collage Card

 Hi and Good Sunday to you!

Today's card is a collage card.  I love collage cards.  Since it is a "collage" of items, I can use many different embellishments and materials and weave them together into a cohesive piece. (And I like the Steampunk style!)

This is a standard A2 card (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches) made with white cardstock, then layered with some patterned paper from Tim Holtz line.

I ran my collage die through my machine with black cardstock four times. I adhered them one on top of the other. I adhered another pattern paper to the back of this collage die cut, then adhered this to my card front.

(I used Tonic Studios liquid glue to adhere most everything to my card.  It's always tricky how to adhere metal objects, vellum, lace and so on to one's card.  The liquid glue did quite well with the metal pieces. I also used glue dots for the key in the upper left corner because not enough of the key was touching the card.)

I added all my decorations (frankly, I couldn't stop. Someone should have told me to step away from my craft table!) I got my embellishments from Amazon.

I have a set of cog dies (I think from Cheery Lynn). I die cut cogs in green satin finish mirror card, gold mirror and gold satin finish mirror card. I used these along with the other embellishments on my card. 

To send this card through the post will cost about one million dollars...

I added some Chitchat words by Idea-ology.
