Julie Fei-Fan Balzer is an amazing mixed-media collage artist and teacher. She created this canvas using the Antiquated Collection stamps with a very modern background. The title is Observe-Capture-Collect. You can find out more about Julie's creative techniques and take one of her online classes at her blog: balzerdesigns.typepad.com
Take your time looking at these photos, there is SO much to see! Kate Yetter from The Scrap Yard created this beautiful art piece using some of the Antiquated Collection stamps, along with some vintage (and made to look vintage) embellishments. (click on any image to view larger)
Kate first painted the box a beautiful blue, applied a crackle glaze and then went back over with white. That created the perfect "aged" foundation for the rest of the items.
Kate actually applied one of the bottle labels to a real bottle. It looks like it came straight from an antique store.
Beautiful work Kate! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Melisa Waldorf has been experimenting with mixed media lately and made these two adorable ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) using our Scottie Dog stamp set. She has some great instructions, including a tutorial on how to work with the digital images that she used for the background.
