Always Take the Scenic Route by Amanda Southern

Hi Everyone

I’m here this week with quite a quick card as time has been against me, but there are always times when we all just have to put a quick card together. I like nothing more than making projects that combine the stamping of many different stamps but this collage stamp from Collage stamp does it in one!

 

Here’s what I did:-


I’m sure, like me, you all have a stash of backgrounds and mop up pieces so again to add to the speed of this make I rummaged through my bits and found this piece of card that I had used to clean up Distress inks from my craft mat from a previous project. This is one such background. To make your own when you next use Distress inks on your craft mat instead of just cleaning your mat, give it a gentle spray of water and pick up the colour with a piece of watercolour card or mixed media card, mine is mixed media card.

I stamped the collaged image over the top and then trimmed to size.

To add a further bit of detail I added the die cut flower, I cut it out in both black and white and layered it to give it a shadow effect. My sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Sticker Book.

Matted onto black card it was then glued onto a card blank.

 
 

What I used:-


Flower Die from my stash (any would work)
Card Blank 

Until next week

Love
