Sticker Sillies!

After making stickers with my logo (and other designs) for packaging, this is what I moved onto!

These little landscape notecards were such fun!

Stamp pad inks work great and have the bonus of drying quickly.

Using the stickers, rather than stamping directly to the notecard, let me play around with composition.

I tried various tree shapes.

Even gave wonky flowers a try.

Augmented the stickers with bits of collage added colour and/or pattern.

Can't decide if shadows added anything to the design...

With freedom to play around with shapes, pattern and composition, it's always a pleasure to develop a small series.

I'd like to say I "developed" this idea to have an easy project for little people to play around with (which it is - no messy inks or stamp pads!) but, in truth, I enjoyed cutting out the stickers and moving them around until I liked the composition. It was meditative and relaxing and there was something so satisfying in peeling off the backing and pressing the stickers in place!
