The Stampin'B challenge selected by Vicki Gould this week is to make a collage card. I've never done one and was perplexed. I happened to have this awesome stamp my DH gave me awhile ago, but never used it as I didn't know how. It has 3 things I love all in one stamp - birds, text and musical scores. I figured monochromatic was the easiest way, especially after I tried to color part of it and it; well, let's just say, didn't work.
I was going to sponge and distress the panels, but thought with so much going on with the image, I didn't want to take away from it. I used part of the image, popped up on dimensionals to match up with the stamp on the card. I also stamped the bird twice and popped it up on dimensionals.
Added a flower combo, the center flower with text was given to me by Audrey Ann - thanks Audrey. The larger flower I dyed using soft suede. Added a punched border on the front and double on the inside. A musical ef was used on the inside soft suede layer.
I think that's about it. Hope you can come join in on the challenge. Just click on StampinB from my signature line to link up.
Thanks for taking a look and have a great day!

Pretty impressive work for a perplexed Fruitflake I must say. Nicely done - a collage card that includes punching. Way to go my Perplexed Punch Pal. Love what you've created. Should be back home tomorrow and shall try and get to the rest of your gallery.

Oh, I just LOVE your wonderful approach to this collage challenge. So pretty! I ended up going basically monochromatic, too. Otherwise there's just too much going on, right? This is lovely, Pam! And you have a music score in there, too. That must have made you happy!!!!
