Magazine card

There's Magazine Madness on the Mod Squad Challenge Blog this week! Well, the challenge is to create a card using magazine images. This is what I came up with.

I created the butterfly from a magazine image of a pineapple upside down cake, the flower from a red background, the leaves from a picture of a flower arrangement and the bird was from the background of another page. I stamped the butterfly and flower with StazOn Jet Black ink. I had tried with a different black but the magazine surface was too shiny for it to stick. I didn't need to stamp the leaves because they were a solid image and would have covered up the magazine picture.  I stamped the bird and the sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa. For some reason that seemed to stick better to the magazine. All the stamps used were from the Gina K Birthday Blessings set. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. 

I used an embossing folder from the Cuttlebug Wedding Suite set on a piece of Gina K layering weight white cardstock. I then rubbed ColorBox Cranberry ink over the raised embossing. I used Gina K Cranberry Tart to layer the sentiment and for the card base. I added some brads from my stash to the sentiment layer and used foam squares to attach it to the Cranberry Tart layer. I adhered the magazine images with TomBow Mono Adhesive. 

I had fun finding colours and backgrounds that would work with the stamps.
