Designing A Collage Sheet

7/25/2015

I decided to try my hand at designing my own collage sheet and share my process here. I started by digitally cropping some of my gellie prints and arranging them on a page. Then I used digital lace stamps over the print. The first try was with black lace images, but that did not turn out very well, so I changed the lace to white. I think it turned out quite nice now.

Next I printed the Gellie Print background and hand rubber stamped several lace stamps on the background and scanned that image. I then printed a copy which I took to my sewing machine and stitched with black thread.
This I like very much.

So next I tried a full page Gellie print with digital stamps and left one stamp image black. Not bad.

And the next one is a half page Gellie print which was again hand rubber stamped.
This one is another one I like a lot.

So now I make use of my collage sheets in my Glue Book. Both the left facing collages are with my collage sheets with Tangie Baxter images. The second collage has one of the Tangie Baxter images stitched. The two right facing collages are Tangie Baxter collage images with a couple of pieces left over from papers on my desk.
