Hello all! We've got an "Anything Goes" week at Topflight Stamps. I had fun making a collage card with various elements from PaperArtsy stamps: Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition; Alison Bomber Violets Edition; Alison Bomber Blackthorn Edition; Alison Bomber Apple Blossom Edition and Scrapcosy 41. Each of these sets has a little postage stamp / postmark / small label, and I stamped each one on scrap paper and colored in with alcohol markers, then fussy cut. I set these aside to create my background. On watercolor paper cut to fit my card, I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Buccaneer Bay Blue in a random way, then spritzed water to help the color move around. While that was drying, I tore a piece of kraft paper from a shopping bag into a smaller rectangle. I spritzed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Gossamer Gold, and followed up with some sprays of water to move the color. Once that was dry, I assembled all of the little elements in the center of the kraft rectangle, and added some scraps of burlap in two corners.
The Lavinia Uplifting Collection Stickers have their spot(s) on here too. I used the white ones from the sticker set (they come in black and a neutral tone, too) and grunged them up with distress ink.
You always make the best collage type cards, Colleen! This is just terrific, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love your collages. I keep saying someday but I always find an excuse. I will let you know if I make one!
