Parisian Postcard with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps -Pattern on Pattern Paper & Freestyle Collage Stamping-
I've been spending time in my craft room playing with stamps by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I love to have a chance to use my inks and clear stamps to create collages. Today I'm using the first clear stamp set I ever designed, Parisian Postcard.
Main Supplies:Die cuts - Spellbinders: Elegant Ovals, A2 Matting Basics A, Ferns, Classic Ovals LG / Die-namites: Ramona Flower / Memory Box: Botanical Stem
Stamps - Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Parisian Postcard by Graciellie Design
Inks - Clearsnap Colorbox: -Love- Paintbox, Teresa Collins -Fierce- Petal Point
Paper - Heavyweight vellum / blue iridescent cardstock / pink leather textured cardstock / white opaline cardstock

This freestyle collage card has no sentiment, as I felt it didn't need one with all the elements it has already. It sure was a fun and delightful card to make and it felt like I was revisiting old stamping times.

This pretty stamp set gives you so many possibilities. I created a subtle collage on the background and framed it with die cuts I arranged around the oval frame with a stamped Eiffel Tower from the same set.
As to other techniques, I created my own specialty cardstock printing a polka dot pattern over a floral pattern, that I then foiled in gold. It gives the card a truly unique look. To add a delicate touch, I stamped in white and heat embossed in clear a couple of butterflies on vellum, adhered an air dry clay heart I made, and added pink pearls to the floral die cuts.
