Yesterday, I made a card with my new Stampin' Up set called, 'Timeless Textures'. I have long admired the cards that have been made with a collage of textured stamps and wanted to give it a try! Here is my attempt, explanation below pics!
I started with a plain, white card base and stamped the little 'grid' stamp three times in a grey ink. Then, I stamped the little, distressed flourish in the right hand corner. Next, I took, what is rapidly becoming my 'go to' flower and leaves, 'Altenew's - Beautiful Day' and arranged them over the stamping.
I finished by stamping the greeting in the same grey ink as the other stamping and adhered a few sparkling sequins.
I was quite pleased with my very first (unadventurous) foray into collage stamping, maybe next time I will be a little more adventurous with it!

ReplyDeleteI also love the look this gives - verging on the mixed media without a lot of the added mess of acrylics and stuff. Love it with the big bold flower in the corner. Xx
