We suggest the following stamps pads and fibers from The Shoppe to coordinate with the Vintage Milan collages sheet:

Fabulous Fibers in Rich Colors

These lovely cards and tags were created by Mary Mata! She has added some vintage flair using antique images, fibers, and by distressing the edges with brown ink. Try recreating some of these amazing samples by using the French Sunflower collage sheet (5MT-FRENCHSUNFL) and products from our great collections of (distressing inks) and (fantastic fibers).

Purse
Cover purse (5CI-16340) using papers from the Marah Johnson Paper kit (5CI-MARAHKIT). Sand the edges of the purse using a sanding block (5PM-50483). I sketched some flowers and the circle in the center and used paper from the Marah Johnson kit to cut them out. Crumple up the flowers as much as possible then flatten them out. Glue to the front of the purse. Take a long piece of black scrappers floss (5KF-00351) and make some circular loops and glue to the center of the flower. Then cut out the Eiffel tower from the Parisian Rose collage sheet (5MT-PARIROSE) and glue over the top of the scrappers floss. Cut out 2 pink butterflies from the Parisian Rose collage sheet (5MT-PARIROSE) and glue one on the flower and the other on the bottom right corner of the purse. Add a large keyhole (5HH-CXGLOU) to the front of the purse. Paint the entire inside of the purse with Manila acrylic paint (5MA-23751). Once the paint has dried and the purse is finished, use it to store all your favorite artsy things! In mine I have used various images from the Mary Mata collage sheets.

Small Ephemera Box
See the photo to the lower right to see how wonderfully the “Parisian Rose” collage sheet (5MT-PARIROSE) from Mary Mata blends with the striped design from the Marah Johnson paper kit from Creative Imaginations!

Cover the top of the box using the large flower design from the Parisian Rose collage sheet. Then cover the rest of the outside using the striped paper from the Marah Johnson (5CI-MARAHKIT) paper kit. Use the large pink image from the Mary Mata collage sheet ”Paris Glam“ (5MT-PARISGLAM) and attach to the inside. Lightly paint the edges with Manila acrylic paint (5MA-23751). Add a small keyhole (5HH-CXGLOU) to the front flap on the box.
