'member these cool stamps that stef sent me?
wanna see what i made with them?
(rubber stamps: autumn leaves; patterned paper: cherry arte, ki, crafty secrets, paper pizzazz, basic grey; black glossy cardstock: ranger; journaling card & eyelets: making memories; rub-ons: american crafts; ribbon: michaels; gems: mambi; other: colorbox & ranger inks, prismacolor pencils, zigwriter, foam tape, stickles)it's a thank you card for stef, of course! since that good woman is such an ingenious and creative stamper, i wanted to come up with something realllllllly cool to do with my new rubber...and i think just maybe i succeeded: paper-piecing! i stamped each image several times on different scraps of patterned paper and then layered them on foam tape on top of each other. for example, the heart is one layer, the body of the bird a second one, and his little wing is a third layer. i was quite proud of this innovation and now i want to look at ALL my stamps and see if there are others with which this idea will work!

Those stamps were made for you! I love the card you made for smilyn stef too. I never cared for birds before you. I've been looking, but I must have a cute one, like the ones you trace and use or one like the stamp S.S. sent you.
ReplyDeleteI can testify that these layers are even cooler in person ... fab-u-lous!

ReplyDeleteWow - I love it! When I saw these stamps on your blog, I instantly started a search, because I HAD TO HAVE these stamps. Well, lo and behold, I found the stamps, and they are waiting right here, ready to be inked up. I will have to try your layering, because that technique is way cool! Thanks for the ideas!
