Fragile Papers at Paper Artsy - Glassine Paper

So many people are loving the first Challenge of 2015 over at the Paper Artsy Blog which is fragile papers.
Some of my storage decided to fall apart yesterday so i had to sort all the items that were stored there and i came upon some Glassine paper that i purchased from Wendy Cotterill in 2013, i am hoping this counts as a fragile paper and also as something new to me as i have never used this product before.
P1070842
Coloured the Glassine with DecoArt Media Paints Quinacridone Gold,Quinacridone Red, Primary Magenta and Teal Hue, followed by a layer of Fresco Snowflake to know it back a little.
P1070846
Die cut the Glassine using the Tattered Florals die by Sizzix and set to one side.
P1070843
Val over at the Simply Snazzy Blog is showcasing Frugal Crafting through January, i do hope you go and pay her a visit there are some very cool techniques she is showing.
On day 10 Val showed collage stamping, something a technique i haven’t tried before, this is where i got the inspiration for this sheet of paper. Used Dylusions, Paper Artsy and Tim Holtz Visual Artistry stamps to stamp over the DecoArt Media background i made from using up the excess paint from the Glassine sheet.
P1070847
This sheet of paper was used for more layers in the flower i was about to make.
P1070851
P1070850
Macro shots of the completed flowers so you can see the texture from the crumpled Glassine petals and the shaped collaged petals.
Once the paper had been crushed added some Pan Pastels over the top which i heat set as you can see above they look amazing, especially the layer of the White Coarse Pan Pastel.
P1070849
Chose the Cameo Frame from Sizzix to mount the flower and Spring Greens on and a stamp sentiment from a freebie set.
P1070848
Tried white, cream, kraft and finally a black card which looked the best to show off the panel.
The card looked a little too CAS so stamped a corner from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry and used one of my favourite Pan Pastel Metallic colours Rich Gold to add a little delicate bling to the corners.
Am also entering my card into the following Challenges:

Hope you have enjoyed your visit today and i look forward to your lovely comments.

    Love the collage stamping so much that wouldn't have been able to chop it up! Your flower is absolutely beautiful and I much admire your patience. Know that your hands don't always co-operate. This is a very inspiring piece of work! Xx

    I love hand-crafted flowers and this one is exquisite. I love that collage stamping too. The PA challenge of fragile papers has certainly struck a chord with many amd you have created something really lovely here, Mo.x

    Oh wow. I love this. I've seen Glassine before, but never used it. That Quinacridone Gold took my breath away. It is beautiful. You did a super job making this fragile paper entry. Now I'm off to see what else I've missed, then will check out frugal crafting, my kind of art!

    Gorgeous card Mo,you always create such unusual things. Will check that website out. Re the heat sealing of the pan pastel does that mean that you don't then need a fixative for it?
    Big hugs

      H Donna

      The Pan Pastel did absorb into the Glassine but not as good as i had hoped, a tiny bit did come off so i ended up using a spray fixative just for good measure. Sorry i forgot to mention that!

    Another unexpected project, Mo! I had not heard of collage stamping, but I am certainly up for trying it. I have a similar floral die, too! Thanks for the tutorial today. You work--and you--are such an inspiration to me!

    Mo this is adorable, the textures and layers of the flower are gorgeous, and the collage-stamped BG works a treat. Nice colour combo too! Next week I'm using crunchy (similar to glassine, but no ridges, and much cheaper) in a totally different way.

    This is gorgeous Mo! Making flowers is one of my fave things to do & this one is beautiful. Love the collage stamped paper....Val's been doing some wonderful stuff this month! I like heating various other mediums into the waxy surface of the glassine paper but love the effect you achieved. Totally fab!
