building a wall

recently i needed a brick wall design for a card and was a bit flummoxed about how to do it

i looked through all my suitable stamps and some were suitable 

like playful pieces (good if you want nice straight organised bricks)

or circle circus (if you want a small area done)

buit none had that higgledy piggledy look i was after.

so i pondered

and i came up with this!

i decided to make my own stamp using those leftover bits of stamp from when you punch out the cool bits....and you wonder if they are useful and should you keep them or not?!!!

the whole reuse, recycle thing yanno?!

personally i quite like using them as dimensionals

but i digress lol

here's a quick tutorial on how to make a brick wall

a la stampin up!

 grab an ice block stick and your left overs

 cut up the edge into little bits and stick them to your ice block stick

random is quite good 

then stramp!

i used a combo of tangerine and choc chip here and did a couple of layers

hope that was useful

cheers ears

ps pop in soon to see what i made with my brick walls
