Itty Bitty Collage swap: Barbara Roberts ~ Florida

Barbara sent in 2 different sets of Itty Bittys for our swap. For the first set, Barbara sent in this description: "These Itty Bitty are made using grunge board. I painted them with various Lumiere paints and then stamped script on them. I highlighted the swirls with Treasure Gold and edged them with embossing powder to finish the look -they feature images from ARTchix Studio. I used a painted paper towel and painted/stamped the watercolor paper behind the image. I used felt/paper flowers with a whimsical brad and fiber to finish the piece." WOW! these are spectacular. Click on any photo for more detail.


Barbara's second set of Itty Bittys (3"x 3" collages) were made in a crazy quilt fashion with various fabrics and trims. I'm sorry the photo is not more clear... these itty bittys are so lovely as well. Barbara has some better photos on her flickr account! Check them out with that link : ) She also included some wonderful snippets of fabrics, trims & cool paper flowers just like she used, in her package for me- thank you, barbara!!
