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!

Wow Pamzi is this ever gorgeous. I love the background on this. So vintage looking and so pretty. The bird looks awesome popped up and the flower is the finishing touch to this very spectacular card. Love it.

Now THIS is an awesome card Pam! I love how you layered the images on top of each other and then popped up the bird. Thanks, too, for all your sweet comments in my gallery...especially my cork-for-sand-card. It's my favorite too...even if I say so myself. LOL...
Take care My Friend!

Pam, you said awhile ago that you were going to try collage and I've been waiting. I love doing it, but I find it very difficult. You have done a spectacular job...it's perfectly laid out and I LOVE your beatuful muted earth tones. Way to go!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
