Random stamping

It's time to show you how versatile clear stamps can be.  I've chosen the color scheme provided by CR84FN to demonstrate random stamping:

I think the closest colors in the Close to My Heart palette are Smokey Plum, Twilight and Olive. 

To make this card, I've randomly stamped the images on a Colonial White cardstock.  Personally I like to leave some empty space, but had I chosen to fill in the space, it would look more like patterned paper.

Do I have a trick to make it look natural?  Yes!

You want to choose three images of different sizes - big, medium and small, preferably of different shapes as well.  Here the Olive florish is a contrasting shape comparing to the medallions.  Then you want to pick one color for each shape.  Here, I stick to the color scheme provided by the challenge.  You want to stamp one image at a time, and that image wants to create a triangle.  If you look closely you'll see the purple medallions form a triangle while the green florishes form another.  The most important thing is, of course, CLEAR stamps!  I love how easy it is to see exactly where I stamp.  You see the little grey circle in the purple medallions?  I can't imagine using a stamp positioning tool every time I stamp it.  I really can't, I may want to give up this fun technique if I have to use the tool.

This technique is fun and easy.  You'll create your own patterned paper that is truly unique.  Try it out!
