I am so taken in by my friend Jacqueline's creations, you can see her wonderful work on her blog HERE, that I just had to give a collage design a go. It's not outstanding, but I think it's romantic, and that is what I wanted to achieve.
Ink: Tombo Markers, Tea Dye & Pumice Stone Distress Inks
Stamps: Hero Arts, Darkroom Door, Ali Edwards, Stampers Anonymous
Other: Gems from my stash, Glossy Accents, Nestability Scalloped Oval Dies
I cut out the scalloped oval using my Nestability Die and Cuttlebug. I then stamped the Rose which I had inked by colouring it with my Tombow markers. I then stamped it again on scratch paper to use it as a mask. I applied the mask and stamped my background with the various stamps, first being the "Old Letter Writing" from Hero Arts.
The sentiment is that tiny circle on the bottom left, it says "Love"! I just adore the font from Ali Edwards' stamps which you can find at Technique Tuesday and HERE is the link for this months Studio AE stamp set. It's a great one for Valentines or any love themed cards or layouts. I covered that sentiment with glossy accents.
I don't think I can be more "collagy" than this! Why do I love collage, especially when someone else makes it, well, it speaks of old time romance to me, the stuff that Love is made of! Enjoy!
