Moxie Fab-Tuesday Trigger-It's Completely Collagical

I decided to play once again in the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge!  This week's theme was to create some sort of a collage.  I loved the picture, but I have to be honest, this week's challenge, was just that, a challenge.

I don't consider myself an "artsy" card maker.  I admire people who use Gesso and paints and such and get beautiful results.  But I decided to step out of my comfort zone, pull out my Gesso and various papers and get to work.  I chose patterned papers that went together, including some vintage book papers.  I randomly glued them to a piece of card stock and then trimmed the whole thing into a square.  I gave it a coating of the Gesso and let it dry.  Once it was dry I used a Heidi Swapp circles template and texture paste to add some random circles. It's subtle but it's there if you look closely. ;) 

I painted the circles with a hint of gold paint to bring out a bit of the yellow color. 

I added my main image of the bird and added tiny postage stamps, flowers, sequins, and a star stick pin. 

I'm not sure if I really "nailed it on the head" but it was certainly fun trying!  Sometimes it's good to spread your wings a bit and try new things!

My house is calling me...... "Clean me...Clean me!" So I guess I should run! ;)

Have a great day!!
