More Collage Stamping: MIM #110



I am having the best time working out these stamping collages! You know I particularly love finding new ways to use supplies I already have...and this technique of using stamps from different collections and pairing them with inks of different intensity to create a cohesive collage is just SO MUCH FUN...and a terrific way to stretch your supplies.


Here is a close up...I just love the way the frame draws attention to the silhouetted couple...but because the inks are lighter, the provide balance for the focal image (vintage camera). I also added some embossing to the top because it seemed empty - but I didn't want to add more stamping. Embossing can help you fill space with a bit of texture, but still allows you to maintain the balance of your other elements.


The vintage camera is from a stamp set called Shutterbug Special. So very cool - and you can get a matching die...that also cuts that little pull out! Such a great way to add a special sentiment, note or tiny photograph!

To create my focal image, I stamped the camera image on heavy white card stock with VersaMark and then added Super Fine Black embossing powder. You could just stamp it...but I wanted to add some Brushed Pewter Distress Stain to the camera to keep that vintage look going. I used a brush to add the Brushed Pewter Stain into the openings...you can use a baby wipe or a damp cloth to remove the stain from the embossed areas.

Thanks for stopping by...I am always so blessed by you guys! You are a constant source of encouragement for me. Let me know if you would be interested in me doing a tutorial on creating stamped collages...I think it would be fun!

Have a great rest of the week!

Here are the supplies I used: (I can't find a link to the embossing folder - it is an older one that came in a collection of embossing folders for cards).

  1. Oh Jann I do love seeing your inspirational creative genius in action! This is a stunning card and love the pull out on the camera too. Think the embossing fills that space well. I'd love to see a collage tutorial please :)

  3. Another great card Jann. I was so besotted with your Easter egg collage card that I pinned it to my Card board. When I watched your tutorial I felt like doing the V-8 commercial *laughing* This card is just as nice. The antique camera was a great choice with Simply Jane collection.

  6. Your collage artistry is, to steal your word, Fantabulous! Such detail, texture, and the color pops. How do you come up with these luscious ideas and turn them into treasures? I know, you have your grandmother and your father visiting your dreams :-)
