A Vintage collage

Hello friends

How are you all doing?/

Its Friday...my favourite day!

(Gin and tonic day!)

As you know, I'm an big collector of vintage and I'm always on the look out for

vintage ephemera....

I recently came across some really cool "Sale  Price" tickets

at my local antiques centre....

(I almost broke my neck to get them to the till!)

I couldn't wait to get them home and to use them in some art work....

here's what I did....

I used lots of Tim Holtz ephemera ( expedition pack) some Tim holtz  idea-ology

and some of my own vintage finds....

I layered some of the ephemera on top of a burlap canvas

I also added lots of stitches

The focus is a photo from the "lost relatives" Idea-ology pack and that vintage "sale price"ticket

I added some old rusty wire around the boy and the dog

I LOVE keys and I cant help but add them to my art....

The bulldog clip is very old, I had to be careful with it as it was very rusty

The white background is from Tim's embossed Motif paper stash, painted with gesso,

then wiped off with a wet wipe.

I've also used bunting inked with pumice stone/vintage photo distress inks

I really enjoyed putting this canvas together.

I think I may need another visit to the antique store this weekend!

(If you want to go shopping for supplies then
