“True Love” card – Rubber Dance

Hello, I´m here today with a really quick and easy card idea. I have quite a few gelli printed collage papers waiting to be used and here is one idea how to put those papers to good use. I used the Mix It Up 4 and Mix It Up 5 stamp sets as well as the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set on this card.

I started by pulling a bold colored gelli print from my collage paper pile – created with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set, acrylic paints and a gel plate. I drew some hearts onto that paper with a black gel pen, then fussy cut those hearts and took a white card base out. I then stamped with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and a grey stamp ink onto the card base to create a background pattern.

Next I added some golden ink splatters and drew some pink circles with a Posca pen here and there. After that I arranged the hearts into a cluster and finished the card off with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set sentiment.

Some times the collage papers turn out really bold in color and might be hard to use as is. By adding just tiny bits of them onto a calmer base the colors don´t overwhelm.

Here is a video on how I made gelli printed collage papers:

Hope you get inspired to play!!! Happy crafting,

Ephemeral Edges collage papers – STAMPlorations

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing a mixed media tag that I created with the new STAMPlorations ephemeral edges collage papers.

I´ve used a manila tag as my starting point with some added spray inks on the bottom part. On top I added stamping with STAMPlorations Art Marks 3 clear stamp set and Distresss Oxide Inks. On top I added a strip of Ephemeral Edges paper, some Gloss Spray splatters and embellishments. The sentiment is from the STAMPlorations clear sticker set called “New Day”.

I love making this kind of mixed media tags! And the new collage papers are a perfect match for this kind of projects. Ephemeral Edges is one of the 9 stunning packs included in The Artistic Crafter’s Collage Papers Anthology, vol. 1.
