The Lint Trap
The challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
is "No Rules". You can link up anything creative that you have been working on this week. I decided to empty the lint trap on my desk which holds odds and ends that I pick up form the laundry, around the house or in the seat cushions. I basically have started holding onto bits and pieces that get broken or crushed and putting them into a sweet antique mini salt dish.
I pulled out a large envelope and decided to create a mixed media mail art project.
The background started with a coat of gesso. AFter it dried I laid down the bits and pieces in my lint trap. I then layered that with a coat of gesso. Mixed in with my gesso was a sprinkling of mini star sequins.
I added a mix of yellow and pink distress stain sprays. I die cut the sizzix layering butterfly and embossed it and added the same mix of colors.
The rest was adding idea-ology remnant rub ons over the surface.
