June ATC’s by Karen, Audrey & Michelle

This months theme is Collage.
A
collage is a work of art composed of numerous materials, such as paper,
newsprint, photographs, ribbons or other objects attached to background
support, such as plain paper. A collage can even be made with physical
materials or electronic images, attaching them to a digital background.
Originating from the French word “coller”, meaning “to glue”, the
collage allows you to experiment with a wide range of materials to
achieve amazing end results. This article provides a sample of the many
possibilities limited only by your creativity and imagination.

Hi there everyone, Its Karen here to share with you my ATC for the May challenge. I really had a lot of fun with this one.

To colour the branch and nest, I first painted them using Dusty in colour – Gingernut, then sponged on some dark brown ink to the edges to give a little definition to the both.

I painted the little birds using Dusty in colour – Alabaster, then stamped a script image over the painted surface once it was dry. I then finished the birds off by, again, sponging some brown ink around the edges.

Materials list:

Birds nest #2

Mini birds #3

Mini branches

Dusty in colour – Alabaster

Dusty in colour – Gingernut
