{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Stamps on Patterned Paper


Hi, Cornelia here today, stamping on patterned paper. I have a huge stack of PP at home and I hardly ever use it. I finally decided its time to do something with it.....remembering an old video by Lizzie Jones, where she did just that.


My supplies:

preview-Shery_Russ-ArtsyTribalDoodles  stmp1051.jpegamazing-worddie
Artsy Tribal Doodles, Sentiment Builders: HAPPY, CUTplorations Amazing word die


I started out with a 6x6 sheet of PP



Did some testing of colors before I started...


...and settled on those:


Stamped the tribal arts stamps randomly on the paper. Sponged a scrap piece of water color card stock with distress ink and die cut the word die.


Took a piece of white card stock and marked where I needed some colored background. Sponged.


Put foam tape on the back of my PP.


And put it all together. Not totally happy....


Decided that I needed black splatters.....
Now I am happy with the result:


Hope you liked this and perhaps get inspired to pull out all that paper you have hoarded...

    Such a fun idea! I suppose most of us have a collection of neglected papers...

    Cornelia is just to clever for words...surprising she hasn't got a big head from all the praise she gets. This is just another example of her brilliance.
