CCC #34 Flies with I Brake For Stamps!
When Linda from Studio L3 mentioned that Della from I Brake For Stamps was this week's generous sponsor, to me it was the best of both worlds. I knew I had to play with Della's stamps using a Tim Holtz Technique. You can't get better than that! So you know, if you don't have Tim's book, "Compendium of Curiosities," IBFS has a wonderful price on this book in their clearance section and this would also make a wonderful gift for a crafting friend. While you are there, take a look at some wonderful stamps!
Where to start! I used a designer paper with very subtle print, I then used IBFS large crackle stamp over the print and a few feathers. You hardly see those images! The egg and feather collage elements are 7 Gypsies paper and were cut out and I used the crackle stamp on the egg. The sentiment (I love that one), was stamped on mulberry paper and inked. I torn around the edges. The tab background uses the Antique Glimmers from the Technique Junkies and I stamped more feathers. All stamps are from IBFS. This was way more fun than it should have been. I just wish I could keep glue off my stuff!!!
