It had to be a canvas whiick I painted with acrylic paint around the edges and on the back (my first ever encounter with acrylic paint, it is quite an interesting medium to work with). The background paper is from October Afternoon an old map of Central London. Once the background was prepared I arranged and layered all paper pieces ... nothing digital this time but a pure paper collage ... most graphics are from the Graphics Fairy ... Karen's collection is just so amazing .... the mini image one of the Kanban car clear stamp set, the cricketer from Arthur's clip art ... oh, and the tea bag from a box of Twinings English Afternoon Tea (LOL), happy Monday Petra.
NB I also link this up to Cindy's new monthly challenge: the Creative Spirit Challenge. You are encouraged to post something on your blog, whether it is artwork, photography, a recipe--whatever it is that exemplifies your creative spirit. Just go and have a look!
