Stamped Collage and Mono Printing

 A busy desk this week! 
A collage from the Collage Workbook challenges - this week incorporating stamping - I used some little seedling stamps that I hand carved a long time ago and gold leafed a few -I meant to gold leaf just one as a 'statement seedling' but I find it hard to stop leafing whenever I start so it reached 7 before I found my self-restraint!!


I also did some mono printing - here are a few that are still on my desk, out of what felt like hundreds I had printed!


And I received the last of the happy mail from the ATC swap - Jan very kindly sent me a replacement ATC as it looks like the original got lost in the post - I'm so thrilled to receive it and what a gorgeous card too - an absolute treasure, thank you so much Jan.



I'm linking up with Julia over at WOYWW this week.

    Fun post Diana, I love the little carved stamp you used. I was going to try making one with an idea I had last week but spent time with friends. I've never tried the mono printing. Yours are beautiful. thanks for sharing and enjoy a great week

    If I gold leafed anything, the whole house would end up covered, including the cat! I have no restraint when it comes to shimmery sparkly things *grin*. Love the mono prints, they’ll make such lovely cards or other pieces. I’m glad the replacement got there quickly, the original is lost in space somewhere, lol!

    Love your collage and the mono prints. 7 is a perfect number you know🙂. I am not quite sure what monoprinting is. Did you use a geli plate and a stencil? Happy WOYWW. Angela #15

    Ooh, I love Jan's seashell painting. Gorgeous!
    Love the mono prints, what beautiful designs you have on them and such lovely colours too. Similarly I love your collage piece. I can understand you getting carried away with the gilding. I would be exactly the same, the results are so beautiful.
    Hugs, Neet 7 xx

    I've never gold leafed anything but like Jan, I think I might need to show a little restraint! Yours looks beautiful and the mono prints are lovely. Jan has a knack with her water colours doesn't she. xx Jo

    I've never tried gold leafing but yours is gorgeous.

    I am in love with your monoprints. You make amazing prints. I can't seem to get the hang of it, so I am truly impressed with the ones you chose to share with us.

    I have all the materials for gold leafing, but have never done it. I really love your gold leaves.

    This is the second time I've been without electricity in the past two days and a watermain broke in Wichita and we have to boil water until further notice. That's why I'm so late visiting. Happy WOYWW from # 1.

    Oh you are funny with the gold leafing and not being able to help yourself. 7 is a good number and sure looks lovely. My ATC from Julia got lost too, so mr posty must be having a hic-up somewhere. BJ#18

    I understand the not able to stop once you start, the leafing turned out wonderful against your background. Oh I so love the prints you got, such beautiful colors and results!
