Relax


Good Morning.
Here is a collage style card I made a few weeks ago but just never had time to post.
I do enjoy making this style of card as it uses lots of different stamps and has a lot of interest.

I began by creating my background. 
I rubbed Tea Dye Distress Oxide ink over my stencils in various areas, varying the patterns for interest.  I set that aside and started working on the main panel.
I masked a small piece of cardstock that I had leftover from another project with some Post-It tape and stamped away using a variety of stamps but staying with the same colour as the stenciled background.  I find the look of the card is more cohesive is I stay in the same colour family.
When I was happy with the stamping, I splattered with some more diluted ink and then placed the piece inside my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

    Love the colour combination of the tea dye and the burgundy red. Your stamping and stencilling in the tea dye looks amazing and sure does add lots of interest. The silhouette flower heads look fabulous against that unique and marvellous background......stunning card X

    So love your collage style Karen and this one in particular because of the pretty soft coloured backgrounds stamped with the vibrant burgundy red-superb art work ......

    I love the limited palette Karen and the stamps including that lovely silhouette flower and the background stamping with the two different mesh shapes and the different circles, all go together beautifully. x

    What a wonderful card Karen - it is certainly cohesive with the same colour family, despite all the different patterns.
