That is the hard part, actually creating all of these projects that we dream up! Well I saw this picture at Hobby Lobby and loved it. When I got closer, however, I realized that the collage was actually just a picture of a collage, and I was disappointed. What is the fun in working with paper if you don't get to enjoy the variation in the papers' texture?So, I picked up a 30x30 canvas and started my own collage. It took forever to sit there and cut all those pieces, so I will probably never do it again. But, it was a great way to use up scraps, and I do love the effect of the giant flower hanging on my wall! I only wish I had a better picture of it... this was a test of me getting used to my new iPhone :)

Wow! That had to take some time! Did you use various sizes of paper punches to get the variation? Love the look!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It did take time, and about 1/3 of the way through I talked to Danni about it... she said, are you using punches? And I thought, DUH why didn't I think of that! But I had already started cutting by hand. I think if I had a more uniform color palette, i.e. a pink flower with light pink in the center and fading to dark pink on the outside, then the uniformity of the punches would be a must (plus a time saver). But with my hodgepodge of papers, I am happy with the hand-cut look in the end :)
