Stamp&Doodle

Thursday is technique day

over at the Michael Strong Yahoogroup.

And for the technique of today

I was inspired by a video I found on youtube:

The background of the card is made with distress stains

and just like I showed you in my

Sunday tutorial for the blog hop.

(go HERE)

If you want, you can also print out my background and use 

it for your card.

The stamps I used are the large and small

cloisonné flowers by Michael Strong.

I stamped those with blach Archival ink 

on the background and doodled with

a thin black marker.Because Michael's stamp

also looks doodled, it is hard to see what was the stamp

and what did I doodle.

The pot I stamped on a separete piece of  white 

cardstock and embossed with black embossing powder.

I used rangers blending tools to color the pot with the same 

color of distress ink as I used on the distress stain. 

The pot is cut out and on the back a piece of 

foam tape. Now you may wonder how the flower 

got over the pot, when it was stamped on

the background. I used my exacto knife to

cut the two leaves of the flower, so I could fold it

over the pot to look more real.

 Have a creative day!
