A simple Serviette Technique

I can’t walk past a pretty serviette, can you? I’ve been using them to make cards for so many years, this is one of the way I use them to create cards, enjoy!

Be carefully because serviette collecting is extremely addictive!! I built up my collection over years by swapping and sharing with friends, but are they enablers? Am I the enabler? LOL Just enjoy!

Oh be very careful when applying the serviette onto the Mod Podge acetate, it gets very delicate when wet.

Happy creating, Miss Jane xx

Friendship Card

Hello fellow cardmakers!

Do you love collage stamps as much as me? I just love the fact that all the hard work is done for me! This beautiful flower collage from Darkroom Door has it all, Jonquils, swirls, postage marks, vintage/distressed border and a text/grid overlay. Do you know how long that would take to create?! Just aligning up all the images using separate stamps and praying that you don’t slip up anywhere especially the last one!! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE making collages out of my stamps, but some days I just want to be lazy and when you have a stamp that has it all well hallelujah!

Darkroom Door Collage Stamp – Jolly Jonquils

I stamped the Darkroom Door Collage Stamp Jolly Jonquils on a page from an old book using a light brown ink, the paper from the book was already aged and had a great distress look to it. I coloured the Jonquils using Copic markers in golden yellow tones. I stamped the Jolly Jonquils image again on a piece of clear plastic using StazOn jet black ink. I placed it over the coloured book page aligning up the images so it wouldn’t look blurred, then I secured it in place using double-sided tape behind the distress borders on the plastic image. I further decorated the card by adding lace, ruler sticker, yellow trim and green foliage in the top right-hand corner.

For the verse I used Darkroom Door Friendship Sentiment Stamps and created the Friendship banner and stapled it in place. The Friendship sentiment strips has so many great sayings! Gotta love that too!

I really loved creating this card and hope it inspired you! It’s been a while since I’ve made a vintage styled card, I must do more!

Thanks for checking out my blog post, now go and make something!

Happy stamping!
