USEIT2026 Brave
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Falcon Bertille

 Once again, I'm getting my USEIT2026 card in towards the end of the week.

This card started with me gathering a bunch of paper scraps that I thought would coordinate well with each other. Tearing them into even smaller pieces, I glued them to some scrap cardstock until I'd covered as much of the surface as I wanted. Then I trimmed the edges to get rid of any overhang.

In order to create more cohesion, as well as adding interest to some of the plain papers, I dabbed on some Lumiere Pearl Emerald paint.

Because the sticker had a lot of white areas, I adhered it to white cardstock, before trimming out a square around it. Then I framed the square with green cardstock.

I stamped the word "Brave" on white cardstock, and gave it a matching frame.

After adhering everything to the scrap collage paper, I decided I wanted to add the velvet leaf. In order for it to have a bit of movement, I used a brad to hold it in place.

Lastly, I mounted everything to a green card base.

When I made this card, I didn't consciously have Merida from the movie "Brave" in mind, but it certainly works for her.

That collaged background is totally amazing and just perfect with your image, which makes me think of Tolkien. The velvet leaf is a great finishing touch.
