Hi there!
Something VERY quirky from me today!
I saw something on Pinterest which showed tiny bits of brown paper with doodling around their shape. This piqued my interest, so - I thought I’d have a go myself! I would link to the Pinterest post, but I can’t find it anywhere now, despite searching!
Here’s the final results, made into cards:
The process I used was to find a few brown paper snippets (never a problem, I have loads of brown paper snippets). Then I tore them into small pieces and stamped them randomly with the Funky Fossil “Shoot for the stars” text stamp. Once they were glued to a piece of A4 printer paper, I simply doodled around them and cut them out ready to add to cards.

 |
| These were the doodles that made the Final Cut - but then, I didn’t like what I made with the “mouse” or the “toucan”, so they got binned! |
 |
| 4.5" x 4.5” sized card with a stamped & stencilled background, plus a clock that I cut out and stuck behind the doodle. |

| "Small Triangles” stencil by Rubber Dance; sentiment from Grunge Collection SL GR STAMP43 by StudioLight. Grounding stamp by IndigoBlu. Custom card size 4 1/8th x 5" |

| PaperArtsy “mini” stamp in orange; grounding stamp by IndigoBlu. Sentiment from the “So Weird” set by Whimsy Stamps. Custom card size: 5” x 5.5" |
It was a bit of fun, and I got a few cards out of the exercise, so I was happy!
Wow Sarn, so very different and inspirational, thanks for sharing something so very different.

“Trust your crazy ideas” indeed! These are awesome, although I’m disappointed in the trashed ones 😃, because I think they are all amazingly awesome! Only you could make awesome things from scraps of brown paper! 😍😍😍😍😍😍Love it! xxx
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Funnily enough I was thinking only yesterday of using some torn brown parcel tape as texture, but nothing as wonderful as these turned out.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible Sarn, totally original and completely fabulous!! Xx
