Paris Dreaming Collage

Just dreaming of going to Paris on this cold and snowy day.
 It's one of the few things we can do anymore for free.
So this is my Paris Dreaming Collage. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Places to Visit

Every so often as we travel through blogs there are some which stand out a bit .....just because they're unique.
Unique in the people, and what they have to offer,who they are, and what kind of life they live.
 So I'm passing along two I like,relatively new to me , but different and special. By that I mean I would like to live their life.
Of course they are both having a lovely give-away and we all love those.
So do stop in,say hello and join in the fun.

New Creations

# 3. This is a transfer I did on tissue paper. It has been enhanced with pen and ink plus Ranger Distress Ink. It is the type of transfer you see used on burlap pillows and furniture.
I printed the transfer on tracing paper with my Ink Jet printer.
I used matt gel to adhere tissue paper( crumpled) to canvas board then matt gel again to set the tracing paper on the tissue.
Another coat of gel,pen and ink,dry over night and apply another coat of gel. Real nice effect.
