Drive Time

I'm enjoying my journeys in the mixed media world, and I had fun creating this layout:



I started with a collage of scrap papers, which I covered with gesso {loving the reduction of my paper scraps stash!!}



Then, in response the Candy Land challenge at LESSology, I sought inspiration from this packaging:


I inked up the background with orange to match the logo, and used browns and creams and spotty elements.  I used the actual packaging on my layout, as a photo mat, and cut out one of the little spotted dogs.

I also used some of the tabs from the packaging:



I'm also submitting my layout at Creative Artiste for the Anything Goes / Use Chipboard challenge.  Here's a detailed shot of the chipboard, which I cut from a larger panel, and altered with gesso:



(You can also see the adorable spotted dog, which I couldn't resist fussy-cutting and adding as an embellishment.)

And... this week at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes ~ so I'm sharing there too.
