I have some fun collages to share - these are all done on acrylic blocks that are usually used for stamping with your unmounted and clear stamps. I found some that were 3in. square for $1 at a local big box store. I adhered my paper collages using images from French Kissed Postcards, Red Lead, and Paper Whimsy to the back of each block using Xyron adhesive and then stamped the cosmos bud and fern fronds from Floriculture with StazOn on the front of the block. The additional border stamp is from Hampton Arts.
Another really cool thing about these collages is that if you happen to flip to page 60 in the February/March issue of the Stampers' Sampler you'll see them in print! Woo Hoo!!!!
First, gather all your supplies.
Now, using a cotton ball or sponge, pick up your lightest color of ink - Antique Linen - and sponge on some distress ink around the image. For the best results, after inking the cotton ball, apply the ink from the mask outward onto the card.
Move to your next darkest color of ink, Old Paper, and apply this ink around the edges of where you left off with the Antique Linen. Once, this is complete, apply some Tea Dye where the Old Paper layer finished. You should be creating an ever darkening halo around your image.
Finish off your aging process, by applying Brushed Corduroy around the edges of the front panel. Be sure not to be too even in your application to preserve the aged look.
RRD always prides itself on including great details on our stamps. Some of those details would be hard to cut in a mask. To get to those places that you could not cut out, pick up the lightest color ink - Antique Linen - on a water brush and slowly apply to the open areas. In the case of Old Gent, these areas are the space between his legs and the enclosed space in between his arm and body. You can also use the inked water brush to fill in any white spots around where the mask may not have been cut close enough.
Hope you will try out this easy to do technique! If you want to play along, add your creation to our linky.

A new Rebel Challenge has been issued for this month, and I wanted to experiment a bit with my piece of vellum. First I stamped the trio from Milliner Misses onto vellum and then colored it from the back side using colored pencils. I'm just not good at coloring and doing it this way hides my mistakes! Once I had my image colored, I ran my piece of vellum though my Cuttlebug using a frame embossing folder. Embossed vellum always gives a cool white effect and I added more white (also on the back with a colored pencil) to make it even more obvious.
I completely avoided the difficulties of adhering vellum; by creating decorative corner punches in my image mat, I could just slip the piece of vellum under each corner punch. Hope to see your project using vellum!
Stamps: Sitting Girl and sentiment from Relish Reading (Rogue Redhead Designs)
This card has a simple window, lined with vellum which has been stamped with a sentiment.
Through the frosted window you can see a hint of the bright flowers inside. Once the card is opened, all the vibrant color shines through.
Stamps: Gaillardia from Floriculture plate and sentiment from Relish Reading plate (Rogue Redhead Designs)
All together it looks like this:
Stamps: Beach Boy and Beach Girl and sentiment from Beach Babes plate (Rogue Redhead Designs)
It seems like FOREVER since I did any tags....and then I had to stop and laugh. I did all 12 days of Tim tags...silly me! Still the urge to do a tag over took me tonight.
