So this year I have decided to challenge myself to make a set of cards, scrapbook page or journal layout using each of my stamp sets as I know I have some I rarely use!
I don’t use this stamp set as often as I thought I would I have to admit… but know how useful they can be for adding pattern and texture to journal pages… yes it’s Gorgeous Grunge.
Decided to see if I could turn these cute digi stamps from Polkadoodles unto something grungey?
I had coloured them both with Promarkers and used the same colour palette of browns and yellows but thought I would challenge myself despite this start to end up with two different looking projects.
First the boy… I layered the stamps straight onto the blue card blank keeping to black ink. I added the digi stamp with some foam tape to raise him up. Finally added some blue stickles.
Next the cute bear and cat…
This time I chose a shaped card blank and used bright colours for the stamping and a coordinating green ribbon.
Of course I also added some clear stickles.
Love how these both look… simple and easy to achieve with the versatile stamps for the background.
Happy crafting!

Gorgeous cards Caroline, the grungy backgrounds make the sweet images pop, such a great idea.
