Making your own ‘patterned paper’ with Winnie and Walter stamps

Happy Friday!

Todays card employs on of my favourite techniques – using stamps to create my own patterned paper.

First of all I did a bit of stamp surgery and cut apart a sentiment stamp from the Welcome to the Family set so that I could stamp Happy all over my white card.  I also used a heart from the same set and added it to the background.

I die cut a circle and used a leaf stem stamp from In Bloom: Addies Garden to create my pattern on the circle piece.  Next I smooshed peacock feathers and mowed lawn distress inks onto a stamped flower, fussy cut it and added wink of Stella.  Then I assembled it all to a black cardbase with some thread and three enamel dots.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
