I have an old Jane Davenport mandala-style stamp set which I have been using for backgrounds. I suddenly realized that they in fact mesh very well in size and design with Martha Stewart lace style stamps. So I connected the two.
I stamped all of them in bright colors, then cut out and reassembled. I also build up height by adding layers with foam bits. Background was made with the help of a stencil, I mushed Old Paper Distress Oxide rather irregularly through the holes.
I then added some Liquid pearl drops as accents and an indigo frame (left over from a cyanotype project that didn't turn out well) and called it a day.
