This week's Created by Hand challenge is to create art using collage images. I painted a sheet of watercolour paper with Ecoline Inks (# 507 Ultramarine Violet and # 601 Light Green). These wonderful inks are available at Quiet Fire Design, under calligraphy supplies. Then I manipulated this image in Photoshop. Initially I printed it onto a transparency, but because the Ecoline colours are so strong, it was hard to find a place to position it for show. So, I printed it directly onto the dry watercoloured paper with my trusty Hewlett Packard Photo Printer. Then I used sequin waste and pounced Ranger Vintage Photo ink over top, after masking the image. I stamped and embossed the Inque Boutique flourish, and stamped the Gentle Thoughts sentiment stamp with Versafine Black. Finally, I embossed the edges with a concoction I made from gold EP and Art Institute glitter, and glued on the pewter heart and a few Swarovski crystals with Aleene's® Original Tacky Glue®. I REALLY enjoyed creating this piece! Thanks for the challenge!
