GLORIOUSLY GRUNGE

Anyone that knows me knows how I loved the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set that is now retired. I think there was a time when nearly every card I made had Gorgeous Grunge on it somewhere.

These are some of the projects I made over the years.

Well I have not parted with the stamp set but can see that other stamp sets can do a lovely job as well. The Gallery Grunge Stamp Set is full of unique texture. Apparently the designer of this set of background stamps found inspiration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Boston when she noticed a herringbone pattern on the walls.
These versatile patterns can be used in two completely different ways. Beyond just background stamping, they can be used to create layers of texture in any piece.

In the thank you card sample,  all three of the stamps in different colours were used to create an elegant yet edgy aesthetic.

In the butterfly sample, the polka dot stamp was used on both the butterfly and the background to create a delicate symmetry.

If this is something you fancy adding to your stamp set collection then head on over to my Online Shop or email me and I can order it for you.
