Challenging myself with Collage style

Hey there, I have been having much fun of late trying out a new style which I actually find quite challenging, but loads of fun.  When I look at the work of European designers, alot of them have this awesome style of lots of layering, texture, sparkles, ephemera, chipboard and more and more and more.  I love it, but I find it difficult as I do not like to be wasteful, I mean, scrapbooking products cost alot of money and we are not all endowed with free product to use.  I know I am not.  So, I have my Silhouette machines, which I like to put to good use.  I recently got a "cut anything" blade for my machines, so I am looking forward to trying that out too and creating all sorts of elements.

See some close ups below.  All designs are for sale framed in a shadowbox frame.  Each measures 300 x 300mm before being inserted into the frame.   Please visit our website www.jacobicreations.com
