Animal Magic – Collage Card

Hi everyone

I hope your weekend is going well.

I didn’t think I would be back in blog land until Monday but I had a few hours to spare this afternoon so I escaped into my craft room. It’s very quiet in there at the moment. My boogie box was the third thing to pack up last week. My new heat gun arrived so I am happy again and Freddie has bought me a new CD player. That should arrive this week….hopefully. An early Christmas present!

Anyway the reason for this post is to share a card I made for the Craft Barn Challenge. This weeks theme is “Animal(s)”.

please click on the photo to see more of the detail

I created a background just by splodging some diluted Distress Ink onto my base layer and then stamped the crackle pattern.
I then stamped, colored and cut out all of the images and collaged them onto the base layer.
I used a piece of old atlas paper to add a bit of interest.

Crafty Individuals stamps used:

Crackle Background CI 116
Postmark Sentiments CI 308
Sewing Notions CI 328
On Safari CI 390

Thank you for looking
Take care,

Florence x

I usually enter the Craft Barn challenges but I missed out that one through lack of time. And today I saw the winning entry and recognised both the stamp and the style… both entries were beautiful. Congratulations on your win!

  Hello Ms Crafty, I wondered where you were. Life gets in the way of crafting some times. I was really chuffed Mr. Random picked my number 🙂 Thank you for calling in and for your lovely comments.
