Happy Mother's Day stampers! It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a fun collage card just for mom. I have been eager to play with the new Layered Handwriting Background Stamp by Darkroom Door again and decided to do a postal themed collage card for Mom, using it as the main background element. I dipped my panel in watery Bundled Sage and Speckled Egg Distress Ink, then stamped the Layered Handwriting in Evergreen Bough and embossed with Distress Glaze. I made a small envelope with my We R Memories Punch Board and distressed it with Gathered Twigs. Then I stamped the Pen Nibs and bird from the Love Birds set in black onto inky paper and fussy cut them. I stamped the Small Sketched Alphabet letters into one of the Lots of Labels stamp. I attached a flat brad to hold the envelope flap down and adhered a pretty button over it.
The flap opens to store a gift card. I added a note card as well and used the Simple Sayings Vol. 2 for the verse. The extra word strips were printed off of my computer, an old postal stamp and a cancellation stamp from the Global Postmarks set to tie it all together. I hope this card has given you some ideas and you'll play around with the Layered Handwriting stamp to make some backgrounds of your own. Have a wonderful Mother's Day! xx, Autumn
