Locker Room – Collage bankgrounds

April 17, 2016 by leeannpearce 6 Comments

Hello, I’m back again to share another fabulous project I made using this months  kit – Origins. 

After creating a handful of layouts I always have plenty of scraps. I love this idea of creating a collage background using up your scraps of pattern papers. You can have so much fun with this, by creating lots of ready to go backgrounds. They are quick and easy and fun. I love simple patterns and then pops of color. You can let your inner freestyler out here.

This photo was taken from our Pearce family adventure in 2014. They are boab trees and they are my favorite tree.

 

“There are places I long to go”

 

Start by gathering all your scraps together and lay out on a base card stock.

 Once you are happy with your design simply adhere in place. Use a few sticker numbers and randomly place along with some washi strips.

 Next add some stitching. It adds great detail.

Now select a few stamps shapes and quotes and randomly stamp.

Create your own title using watercolors and a paint brush onto card stock. When dry hand cut and arrange on your layout.

Once you are happy start to adhere everything. Add a few flicks and pools of water color to help blend in the painted title.

I hope today was fun and you free inspired to go create a few collage backgrounds. Thanks for popping by!
