Hi, it is Godelieve here today sharing two cards I've made with the Travel Squares Collage Stamp.
The first card has a tag attached.
1. Stamp the Travel Squares Collage using Jet Black Archival ink
2. Use the small letters from the Alphabet Medley set with black Archival ink to stamp “travel escape explore”
3. Cut the piece out
4. Distress the edges. Mat onto green cardstock and adhere to the card base
5. To create the colored tag, stamp the collage stamp again on another piece of (watercolor) paper and stamp the large tag from the Tags set on top, at an angle.
6. Cut the stamped tag out. Trim the edges, so the stamped edges will not hide too much of the black and white image underneath.
7. To watercolor the tag, scribble Distress Markers onto a stamping block or a craft scheet, and pick the colors up with a water brush.
8. Distress the edges of the tag using a paper distresser, and add a bit of color by dabbing Distress Paint around the edges.
9. Add ribbon and twine. Attach words from the Prague Vol 1 Wordstrips. Glue the finished tag in place.

The second card is a square Vintage Card. Size is 14 cm.
1. Only 1 ink pad was used to create this card: Archival Potting Soil
2. Stamp the Travel Squares collage stamp onto cream cardstock
3. Apply a layer of Distress Crazing Collage Medium. It takes a while before the cracks appear
4. Meanwhile stamp a mixed background onto a square piece of kraft cardstock (13 x 13 cm). Darkroom Door has a range of beautiful city stamp sets to choose from. Mix with the Scratches Texture Stamp and the Bold Arrows Eclectic Stamp. Distress the edges and ink them with Archival ink.
5. After the cracks showed up on the stamped Travel Squares piece, use Distress Crayons to color the images. Rub with your fingers to make the cracks visible
6. Cut the squares out and distress the edges
7. Arrange the squares on the card. Glue and staple them in place
8. Adhere this panel to a cream folded card
