Christmas collage!

Hello everyone! Its Jen here and its that time of the month again where I get to share some card making inspiration with you all!

The postage collage theme has been a big craze this year and I have to say I love it but to don't necesarily need a postage stamp set to create your own collage scene. This month I took the Puzzle Frames Stamp Set and created miniture scenes in each of the squares using older and smaller images. Read on to find out how I made this card!

Products used

I also used

One 4.25 x 5.5 red A2 US Card base

Two 4.25 x 5.5 A2 US White card panels.

I began by stamping the Puzzle Frames Stamp onto one of the white card panals in black Raven Hybrid ink. One the Ink was dry took some masking piece of scrap paper to create a snowy hill mask.

I masked off each section individually with some low tack tape and combined it with my snowy hill mask, then lightly ink blended a sky backdrop with Swimming Hole Hybrid Ink.Next I spattered on some of the blue ink and some white acrylic paint to add some interest to the background.

Then I stamped and coloured images from the Christmas Stable Stamp sets onto the second white panel and coloured them with alcohol markers. 

Once cut with their co-ordinating dies, I arranged the images to create different scenes in each of the sections. Some were adhered flat, whilst other were popped up on foam tape. 

I added a sentiment to the top centre rectangle then trimmed around the edge with a paper trimmer. I popped the panel onto the card with more foam tape for added dimension and this completed my card!

Now, although one of the stamp sets I used is no longer available I think this shows that you can use any of your smaller stamps to create a pretty cute collage card!
