I decided to paper piece the stamps using scraps on my desk which got ripped up and almost thrown away last week but changed my mind and it involved masking too ooh get me lol.My favourite texture stamp round the edges and the little Bee from Chocolate Baroque.
I stamped everything onto one of the boiled pages I made here distressed the edges and backed onto black card.

ReplyDeleteLovely bit of paper piecing, Carol. They're pretty stamps. That border stamp gets a lot of use - not bad for a freebie, lol.
