Crafting a collage creation with Club Scrap!

A Challenge was issued on the Club Scrap Community to create our own collage paper for use on cards/scrapbook pages/projects. I have wanted to do this for some time, so I eagerly went straight to work. It was majorly time consuming, but I love the

results. These stamps are all from the Club Scrap kit called Castaway. I stamped them all onto sticky notes and cut them out to use as masks, then I stamped and masked and stamped and masked and stamped and masked (you get the idea) onto a plain white 8.5x11 paper.

When I thought it was sufficiently stamped, I scanned it and printed a couple copies before inking so I could try a few color combinations or just in case I messed it up. Then, I inked it with Stormy Sky & Bundled Sage Distress inks and sprayed w/perfect pearl water before cutting right into it and making these cards.

I also made the greeting squares in PSE using elements from the Castaway digital kit which I printed and inked as well choosing the phrase BIG Thanks so that I could submit it for the Friday Mashup challenge #41, which apparently closed last night ;(.
