It's Already Sunday....

I can't believe how fast this weekend has gone by!!!! I FINALLY took some time for me last night to play in my ART Studio.....I so wanted to create something other than a card last night, though I do have several swaps I must work on soon......But, I decided I wanted to create another Collage.....I started with an 8x10 blank white canvas......Here's what I came up with...

As you all know I LOVE flowers and love to give things a 3D look.....Well my Collage was no different.....I spent ALOT of time on these flowers on this piece of ART.....I have layers upon layers and I must say I am very happy with the way they turned out!!!

Close up on the Phrase I chose for this creation.....I used Distress Ink, Emossing Ink and Distress Ink Embossing Powder on the phrase as well as on the side pieces of the phrase piece...I used a sizzix die to cut out the latch pieces out of white cardstock stippled with distress ink, coated with distress embossing ink and covered with distress embossing powder...made it look like rusted metal doesn't it?....Kinda feels that way too....

The leaves on my creation are made from my crayon papers....once I punched them out I then have a stamp with veins on it so I used some brown stazon ink to put the veins on each of the leaves..worked out rather well....I took some bronze colored wire to create a vine affect.

I love the look of the window cards I've done in the past so I decided I wanted to add one to my creation.....I created the room view in which you see through the window and I love how cozy the room looks.....

The other corner of leaves....

I took an angle shot of the entire piece to show you all the dimension of the piece....the background I covered with gesso, once dried I covered with some Memories Mister once dried I covered the entire piece with stucco.....that was fun fun fun!!! Once dried I put a layer of wood stain on....then stenciled on the vines.....carried the stenciling onto my window and shudders.....

I really tried to force myself out of my normal zone on this piece....I would not allow myself to browse through anything.....just sat and thought and came up with ideas!! I am totally thrilled how this piece came out.....I am going to place it in my store.....It would make a beautiful wall hanging or stand in a base......

Ok, now you know what I've been working on all day.....I've been rather quite online and this is the reason why......I was totally in a zone and it felt good!!!

I did take some time away from my ART Studio and made some hummis and pita chips for hubby and I to have for lunch.....Oh my goodness it was YUM-O!!!! As Rachel Ray would say!! It's actually because of her cooking show the other day that made me want some....It's the first time I've made it and I WILL be making again......And good for you too....well, except for the fried pita bread!!! LOL

Ok, I hope you 've all had a Super Sunday....I again want to THANK YOU for coming to visit with me....thanks for looking at my creation!!! I hope you will come back again soon!!!! Have a blessed remainder of the evening and Monday!!! Until next time....
