Roses are….

…...part of my collage page for Susi's new theme at Art Journal Journey.
The theme is making my brain work for sure as the 'Collage' has a twist - no faces, no wings, no leaves!

With a little help from my friends I have made this page that started with a few bits of torn mop up tissue paper.

I stamped a rose from a beautiful stamp set gifted to me by my lovely friend Elizabeth - I was careful not to stamp any leaves!

I had the idea of Paris in my head and used a magazine picture of the Eiffel Tower. I cut the pink rose from a scrap that came from my lovely IG friend Jackie and then I used some of the napkin and some lace that she gifted me too. I added another little scrap with some text on it and a little wooden flower shape from the box that sits at the back of my desk.

The quote is from a Ken Oliver set that happened to be on my desk for another reason! 

Everything was outlined with a brown Stabilo all pencil and then water brushed to smudge it. I added some more smudges randomly to the page too.

I have another page coming up soon too!

Thanks for looking, Chris
