When I first saw the new Mix Media Origins papers<\/a> from Tattered angels, I knew I had to try them. Starting with\u00a0one that I thought would be very\u00a0versatile to me, since it works as an amazing background in layouts as it does on its own, I cut out parts of it. \u00a0I could combine the pieces with other papers or use the wings alone because they fit with various scrapbooking and mix media projects.<\/p>\n

However, I wasn\u2019t able to divide the beauty of this paper into pieces, at least not during the first use.<\/p>\n

The main concept behind my project comes from the desire to create a piece of art that will catch the eye on the page\u2019s theme: the wings. I wanted to take advantage of the colouring possibilities that the quality of the paper provides, while not loosing the greyscale shades of the paper design. Leaving a portion of grayscale is like the effect made by torn pages from an old book.<\/p>\n

A shadow box was the perfect way to do what I wanted because I could create depth, protect the finished pages and of course, make it easy to hang on a wall.<\/p>\n
