I used a stamp that has been in my collection for ages for these two
cards: Collage Stamp by darkroom door. My favorite thing to do with
it is to color it with watercolor markers, spritz with water and stamp,
it comes out different every time. That is what I did on the first card.
On the second I stamped a portion of it in black, die cut it and colored
it to match my background papers. This card is a Joy Fold card with
a buckle closure. You can find directions for a similar version here.
I made this card for:
Butterfly Challenge #153: J for Joyfold 2 -all 6 elements:
Joy Fold 2/Jade/Jasmine/Japanese Carmine/Jewels
+your Butterfly.
Twofer Card Challenge #26
That collage stamp is fantastic, Donna, and I love the direct-to-stamp colors you used. The result are beautiful. The distressed edging on it and the mat and the matching bling finish it perfectly! Your second design is a great way to use a portion of the stamp to make a completely new design! What a fun fold and again, the colors of the butterfly and pp are awesome! Thank you for playing in TCC #36! I hope you are keeping well! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Donna..Loz
ReplyDeleteTwo adorable designs, and wow fabulous colours with great stamping. xx
ReplyDeleteThe blue, purple, green colors of your first card look fantastic together. The way you managed to use several colors I would t have guessed you used a collage stamp, rather several different ones. It’s beautiful with the old scroll edges.
ReplyDeleteYour second one has a decorative fold with cheerful colors, beautiful too.
Your twofer is well done with those gorgeous butterflies and pretty colors! I love that unique joy fold design and the deckled edges of the first collage design! Well done on both!
ReplyDeleteStunning images, Donna. That collage stamp is seriously gorgeous! Love all those soft colors and the technique you've used on your first card. The lavender panel really makes your focal point pop. Very cool, too, to make that joy fold card. It really brings out the various papers you've chosen for this one. Great cards. Thanks for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev
ReplyDeleteSplendidly lovely cards! Butterflies and items/crafts featuring them are a lifelong favourite of mine.
