Compendium of Curiosities Vol 2 Challenge - Custom Foam Stamps

At long last the day has arrived!  I anxiously awaited the arrival of my copy of Tim Holtz's new book - Compendium of Curiosities II and just couldn't wait to get started on the challenges over at Studio L3! 

So The Challenge Begins!  Our first challenge is to create a project using the technique found on page 66 of Compendium of Curiosities Vol. 2.  This technique is all about creating your own custom foam stamps. I wanted my stamped images to almost blend into the background so the stamps on the tag are second generation.  I kind of like the way they turned out!

I also used a couple of other techniques I've learned from Tim - the background of my tag uses his blended spritz & flick technique and the butterflies were created using his ghosting technique.

Enjoy!
