LOVE is an act of faith - mixed media story board

When I first saw the new release Vintage Collage from Red Rubber Designs, I knew that I wanted to use it to spark the imagination. I hope that you will be able to envision a story from my canvas.

I started my project with an 8 X 8 inch piece of heavy chipboard. I inked it with Distress stains and inks then added a layer of tissue paper (old dress pattern), ink and stamping. On top of that I added a piece of coffee stained canvas.  The next layer is faux parchment cardstock that has been crumpled, torn, burned, inked, spritzed and rolled.

The lovely lady is from the Vintage Collage stamp set.  Her corner of the story board includes some old lace, a flower, and a treasured love letter as well as a much used rosary.

In the lower right hand corner is the object of the lady's affection and love. He is also from the Vintage Collage stamp set and has been stamped on paper clay. In the background you will see a sailing ship from the Vintage Collage stamp set and an Ancient Map.

The lower left hand corner gives a better look at the Ancient Map  The beads of the rosary encircle the entire story board. The LOVE stamp is from the Vintage Greetings stamp set. I finished out the quote by adding is an act of faith.

I hope my little project has given you a moment to slip into the world of imagination. Thanks for looking.

I am entering this into the Try it on Tuesday Lots of Layers Challenge.
