Helga´s Online class part 2

Do you remember the circle grid I´ve made last week as part 1 of Helga´s online class?
This week she wants us to take a magazine, tear and cut out pics that appeal to us, and make a collage with them, using one of our grid patterns from last week for the background, and embellishing the whole thing in the end.
I have used a magazine that I had already thrown away and was surprised when I found so many beautiful photos in the "trash". The purple background with golden fleur de lis pattern is from an ice cream advertisement, and it´s the reason why I´ve chosen the circles stamped with the lid of my glue stick for the background. I then added a stamped fleur de lis inside the circles here and there.
I remember that we had to do a magazine collage at school and that it came out quite ugly and made me hate collages for the next three decades of my life. I wish I´ve had a teacher like Helga in my youth because maybe I´d have more fun with collages then at an earlier point of my life.
This collage is about 11,6 x 8,15 inches, and I´ve really had fun with it today!
