Moments in Time Collage

Today I wanted to share a nifty little collage with you that I created using a variety of goodies....

Moments in Time

I used a chipboard frame as the beginnings of this little collage which I covered with a piece of vintage sheet music I worked over.  When I say I worked it over I crumpled, inked, re-crumpled and inked it some more!

After it was attached to the frame I inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.

I then stamped the bird, sentiment & clock, inked them then covered each with Glossy Accents.

I added a funky stick which I tied a key on with a bit of dyed rayon seam binding, affixed a few gears and the key hole, mounted the stamped images then went to work on the main image.

The image was mounted on a piece of chipboard then covered with crackle accents and left to dry.  When it had dried completely I mounted it to the back of the frame and covered the entire back with a piece of printed cardstock.

Here is a close up of the image after it was crackled...

Don't ya just love that look!

So there you go...

a quick and very easy collage to give or keep!

BTW, a couple people asked about our hay making....Yes, we make several acres of hay...a few of them on our own land but mostly we rent small plots of ground here and there.  We make a variety of hay including pure alfalfa, alfalfa/grass mix and grass.  We keep much of the hay for our own cows and the donkeys but we do sell hay to folks who have horses, cows and other misc. farm animals.  The guys enjoy it and I occasionally help drive the tractor when needed.  I used to take turns on the wagon but after I injured my back I'm no longer able to do so...which is why I drive.  I don't mind it unless there is rain forecast...then dh gets grumpy and things usually go haywire (no pun intended - lol).   Anyway, that's a big part of our summer...makin' hay!
