Monday again and another Compendium challenge- I mis-counted last time so there is one more after today - and this week Linda has sent us to page 63 - dimensional collage fragments - which do what they say on the tin!
I made up the fragments according to the instructions in the book, and then had to look for a project to fit them on! If I had thought it through better I could have themed the fragments better, but that's me all over!!
I also wanted to try out my new arrivals - the QVC TSV from last week when Tim was here in the UK and which arrived at the office moments before I left for the day - and I have tomorrow off, so how handy is that!
So, the tag - used crushed olive and forest moss inks, (here I did plan a bit as I had used some crushed olive on the book page I backed the fragments with) and the full size brolly man - there is such a cute little version in the stamps that were in the TSV -which were exclusive to that offer, how cool is that! but the rest of the stamps I used here are from the set.
Once again, there is a wonderful prize on offer by the sponsor of this week's challenge - so get over to Linda's blog and check out the entries and what's on offer. Good luck!
I hope to spend a lot of tomorrow playing with all the new bits and pieces I've got recently - I have taken a day off (the boiler is being serviced "between 8 and 12" so knowing my luck that means 11.55.... ) and so I thought I'd have a play day!! It also means I get a lie-in in the morning - but I bet I still wake up at 5.30 though...

Fun technique, isn't it? I know what you mean about doing the technique and then realizing it probably needs to be attached to something else!
Great tag....with great collaged fragments.

So glad to have found your blog, Helen! Love what you did with the fragment on the bottom of the tag. Plus looking through your other posts, I see we have a lot of the same... shtuff. Happy stamping!

What a fabulous tag Helen! Your fragment collage pieces are wonderful-- like little windows into umbrella man's thoughts! I love that Crushed Olive ink, too.
I really wish those little stamps were available in the States-- they're so cute! :-)
I do love Brolly Man. And the fragments are superb.
