Freestyle Collage using inks and images

Prepare card by folding 81/2” x 51/2” black cardstock in half. Set aside.

Cut white cardstock 51/4” x 4”. Swipe edges with Soft Rose Memories shadow ink – sample included. Let bleed for a few minutes then mount to the center of the card. Set aside.

Cut another piece of white cardstock 31/2” x 43/4”. Randomly stamp Magenta shadow stamp #23.287.F page 225 using Soft Rose, Soft Wheat, Soft Leaf and Soft Stone memories inks – sample included. Stamp the Magenta clock #21.062.O page 86 in the bottom right hand corner using black Memories ink. Stamp a mask for the clock and cut out with deckle scissors.

Place the mask over the clock then stamp the pear #09.054.H page 30 in the top right hand corner using black Memories ink. Stamp a mask for the pear and set masks aside.

Stamp the world #18.008.I page 88 in the top left corner using black ink. Stamp a mask for the world and cut it out.

Apply masks to each stamped image. Overstamp with the hand written text stamp by Love to Stamp, repeating until background is covered. Remove masks.

Stamp the key #21.048.E page 84 along the left hand side using black ink.

Punch each corner with the south-western corner punch. Mount to the center of the card.

Because this is a black card, I cut a liner by folding 51/4” x 81/4” pink text weight paper in half & glued to the inside of the card.
