Nature Walk collage-stamped cards

Recently I used the Nature Walk stamp set (Gina K Designs) to make four cards. I used collage-style stamping and a variety of ink pads in earthy colors to make my own piece of patterned card stock. I then cut that piece into four A2 panels and got to work on the cards.

For the first two cards I trimmed the panels just a bit, splattered them with copper watercolor, and matted them with copper card stock cut to an A2 size. I added natural trim or twine to each panel, along with a die-cut focal image (sentiment or butterfly), and then adhered the panels to A2 card bases. I finished each card with a few copper sequins.

For the second two cards, I trimmed the stamped panels a bit smaller, but I again added the copper splatter and matted the panels with copper card stock. I added a die-cut sentiment to each card and used a Tiny Attacher to add a snippet of natural trim or crochet trim at the top of each panel. I used cream-colored card bases and adhered a strip of coordinating card stock across each one. Using foam tape I attached each panel to a card base and finished them with copper sequins.

 Thanks for stopping by!

  1. What a fabulous idea to create your own back grounds using stamps! I might try that idea! Thinking of the many stamps I have, the possibilities are endless! I really like the copper embellishments, and cardstock! The blue Butterfly looks great, and the colour goes well all the nature bits, as well as the copper! Fabulous ideas!
