Hey everyone! It's time for the Altered Pages monthly challenge again, and the theme for this month is Chinese New Year, or Year of the Horse. I have been having so much fun with my Silhouette and my Altered Pages collages sheets that I had to make one more inspiration piece for you.
I printed out AP-2251 Year of the Horse collage sheet, as well as a mini 2014 calendar from the internet, die cutting and trimming, as shown. Very simple. Each of my images were edge distressed with Mix'd Media Inx in Schoolhouse Red and Black. Perfect!!! And here is a close-up of those images.
I always like to finish off the back of everything I make, well almost everything. But have you noticed how people always turn your work over to see what is on the back, if anything? Lesson learned, always finish off the back of your work, and don't forget to sign your work. So here is the back ofmy banner. More collage images and a close-up of that wonderful explanation of the Year of the Horse.
