Give your collage elements a little more impact

You know when you find a couple of collage elements, and you want to make them into a larger collage?  Well, glue them on a canvas panel and add some paint!  With two or three coordinating paint colors from the elements, use a sea sponge and randomly dab on the paint around the elements.  Don’t forget to use the lightened or darkened colors too.  And dab a little paint onto the elements to make them look as though they were painted also.  For a little detail, stamp a swirl, or you favorite design.  Then use the same paint colors to paint over them, or just paint freehand.

Collage sheets used are #137, and #035.
