Hello everyone! Welcome back to Thursday's Ways to Use it Challenge.
Who's up for a Crazy Collage project?
One of the things I love to do is combine various stamps to create a collage effect. I usually grab 1-2 script or newsprint type of stamp and 2-3 images either sketchy or silhouette - it's really an individual preference, tho. Some days I'll have 8 different stamps in a collage.
For today's challenge is - you must use at least FOUR (4) separate stamps to create your collage. No sneaking in an already pre-collaged stamp (although those are just as beautiful).
Need any help linking your card to this thread?

You make it look easy, Collette. Your sample is gorgeous. Collage is way out of my comfort zone but I do want to try it tomorrow. Thanks for hosting.

- I'll be thinking about this all morning at work, because I struggle with collage.
So we have to use 4 stamps, no more and no less?
Be back later - thanks for a challenging challenge , always good for us to stretch ourselves.
You have to stretch yourself to use at least 4 different stamps - you can use as many above that as you want. Sometimes more IS better.
All the samples so far are wonderful! See why I like this technique so much?

Thanks for the challenge Collette! This card idea has actually been floating around in my head for a few days, so thank you for the push to put in down on cardstock! Here's mine:
So many wonderful collage cards! It's kind of funny to see some of the comments about it being out of their comfort zone, etc. ... Some of those commenters were among my favorites. I've been surfing the SU catty all afternoon scoping out sets I could use to make more collage projects.
Thanks to those of you who've participated so far and left such nice things to say.
My stamps are a flower and a leaf sprig from Verve's Bloom and Grow. Two different sized doily's from MME's Gertie Girly Stamps. And I used a stencil and watered down reinker to spritz down the design.
Edited: I just went through the challenge gallery and OH MY! I think I need to do another one, I'm so inspired.
