4 X 6 Collage on mat board
I started this collage on a dark green mat board and that background influenced the colors of the collage papers that I put on top. I ended up using some opaque papers and paint at the end so that everything wouldn't appear so dark. Lesson learned; put your collage on the white side if you want your translucent papers to show up.

Unexpected
4 X 6 collage on mat board
On this collage I used a combination of manufactured papers and some that I made myself. The leaf is a sticker embellishment, the quote is from a fortune cookie (collagers save everything).
I did some accenting with acrylic dimensional paint and some stamping. Click on the picture to get an enlargement to read the fortune.
Red Bird
4 X 6 Collage on mat board
This little bird keeps showing up. Now he's contemplating why a checker board is under his nest. All of the papers used in this collage are manufactured tissue paper, napkins and art papers.

I really love these collages! You've inspired me to use up some mat boards that were given to me - I could never figure out what to do with them!
