Mixed Media Monday - Pens and Pencils

Mondays seem to come around so quickly these days. I don't seem to get anything else posted on my blog, apart from my MMM things. This week on Mixed Media Monday, we have Willy as a guest host, and she has chosen "pens and pencils" as the theme. This week I chose to do an ATC, because I'm a little pushed for creative time. The background of the ATC is done with rusted paper, the "letter" is stamped on paper and then distressed. I used a collage image and a used postage stamp, some ribbon and a pen nib tied on with string. This is a beeswax collage - I love the mellow look that the wax gives to a collage.

I love this its wonderful! I haven't tried to do a collage with beeswax yet...but am looking forward to it. Your collage is wonderful..I'm wondering...does the beeswax make the ladies face transparent like a transfer? I like it so much like that.
