A collage challenge? Of course I had to play I sponged various distress inks on my bg piece and then stamped the girl in sepia. I masked her and stamped a whole bunch of bg type stamps. I know I used a lot of inks and a lot of stamps... my work space is currently about the size of a postage stamp. TFL!
This is also for the Monday MISTI challenge..I used my MISTI to help arrange the different stamps for my collage...I used a piece of acrylic to stamp on first before I did the stamping on the actual cardstock. It was indispensible

Perfect challenge for you, Polly! The patterns and foliage showcase that pretty little girl and I love your German Scrap embellishments. I'm need to get some of that.

Double collage, the super background and then your trademark use of the little scraps. I think I saw last year when Tim Holtz released some special scrap-style dies and I thought of you. I remember we used to get then in our Christmas stockings - though I haven't a clue what we did with them! What a wonderful old-fashioned Victorian looking Christmas card. Love the background stamp in the top left with with the paisley/tear drop element.

Yup, that's about how big my stamp space is right now, too. Now, to put away all the stamps and inks! This vintage girl all dressed up for Winter is such a sweet image surrounded by all the other cool images. The gold wings at top are a great touch.
