card collage

this has been a very collage-y week.  this card hasn't gone out to anyone yet though i think i've decided now where to send it.  there is all kinds of stuff here.  the card itself was a designed paper card from a set. on the left there is a little strip of leftover cardstock from when i was making millefiori like crazy (see technique junkies).  there is some ripped paper from a paper pack.  there's a vintage beauty label from twisted papers.  there are some little floral pieces from some collection or the other.  the stamped image is one of my favorite face stamps and it is from judikins.  i had stamped that on cardstock with yet another technique junkies technique -- though i've forgotten which one.  it was watercolor something i think. but anyway i'd messed up the stamped image so one of her eyes didn't come out.  but being a "saver" like so many of you all i kept the image and i've remedied her damaged eye by covering it with what now appears to be a sort of "curl" from a stash of random goodies from k & company. (smile!). finally i've given her a crown of lace.  this is my favorite creation of the week.

happy mother's day to all women who have nurtured others in the spirit of motherly love!
may we all get the motherly love we need.  and let's all be sweet to each other.
love to all.

This is gorgeous. I've never made my own collage - just used collage stamps. But now I may just give it a try - you've inspired me. xx

this is a great card - one thing I've been taught/learned over the years of stamping is that there are rarely any mistakes. You can usually 'fix' them someway~~~yours is an awesome fix!
