Are you ready to be wowed by another fabulous challenge. Lena has provided us with step by step instructions on how she creates her collages! I feel like I've been let in on a fabulous secret!
Here's what Lena has to say:
1. I always start with looking through my magazines for pictures I might use. A body, a head, the eyes and mouth... just tear out all the pictures I think which could be useful...
2. Then I make a choice with pictures I really want to use and cut them out. I place them on my paper which I'm going to use to see if it will fit...
3. I'm making my background, using three colors of paint (orange, bright red and dark red) and blend it on my background paper. The lightest color goes in the center, the darkest on the edges.
When the paint is dry, I add some glimmer mist to it using a mask of circles and sequin waste.
4. I glue the images on my background paper with Mod Podge and outline it with puffy paint.
5. My finished piece.
I used stamps, butterfly immages, sequins, tape, more puffy paint and markers.

I want to challenge everybody to also make a collage by the theme: "celebration or party". It is free to interpret this theme to your own imagination!!! You have until October 7th to submit your collage.
