Layers Upon Layers: Mixed Media Art

Carolyn Reed’s grid stamped card

by Cyndi on July 2nd, 2007

Make Art Monday!

Carolyn posted a comment after I shared the instructions for making a grid stamp and told me that she had used the technique to make a unique card. I was thrilled that she was willing to share both her process and the results with all of us.  Thank you so much, Carolyn!
Carolyn created a pattern first:

This is the pattern I used to cut out the stamp, not the actual card I made…since the verse was long and had several long words as well, I felt I had to plan more not just cut holes and hope they work.

Here is a picture of one of the finished cards. I ruined one by writing toooooooo big, which can be a problem. You could probably get around that by using the computer and using lighter colors to sponge the background paper.
