Morning and last Saturday of the month so time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with my blogging friend Vicki who makes brilliant journal pages and cards so please check out her blog too.
The prompt this month is flowers so I used stamps from two sets of AALL&Create stampsand a textured stamp from Creative Expressions,quite liked this so even used the same design for a card too.The background was a mop up page in my Pink Frog journal.

Carol!! I'm thrilled that you and Vicki have played with us at AJJ this month! I do love your stamped collage quite a bit. I really wish I could get over my thinking that A&C stamps are too expensive for me. I don't have even one. Lots of bloggers are using them right now. But instead I go through my old stuff because I have too dang many stamps! LOL I'm suddenly remembering, Carol, how you were going to end all this crafting. Was that a year ago, or two? But then you got to feeling better and stronger and back into it better than ever. I'm so happy that happened! Big Hugs and thanks again for linking this up at AJJ Happy new week to you, xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Carol, this is just awesome! Beautifully done! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

I can see why everyone goes ga ga over those AALL and Create stamps. This is striking and beautiful. I love how you only colored a portion of the background and left the focal iimage in black. It is really amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning entry for Aimeslee’s theme at Art Journal Journey, Carol.
Great card, Carol! I love AALL & Create Stamps, but they are too expensive for me. I have a few that I should start using. You always do such a fabulous job using them in your projects! You have an amazing eye for composition!
