Michael Strong Gallery

We are just starting up our Michael Strong Gallery and we wanted to do a special one for you to post your Cards and Layouts which use the Michael Strong Cloisonne Collection.

These versatile stamps are designed in such a way that they can be cut apart and the pieces can be used in various ways.

Here is my use of the Punch & Spell letters and numbers. I found these old photos of my Dad and Grandfather a few months ago. Some of them were from as early on as 1963 when we first moved into this house.

The papers used were from the Club Scrap kit from September 2010 called Adobe. Since I had some black & white photos, I used black for the background and accented with Turquoise (from my blouse) and the mosaic embossed copper paper, square copper tiles, and copper hearts from the Adobe Kit.

I stamped the Michael Strong Cloisonne Letters on a tan paper, embossed with Copper Kettle Embossing Powder from Michael's Web site to go with the Copper Paper and Embellishments. Then I punched out a matte for each letter with my Oval 1 1/2 inch punch and layered them to make the Titles for these pages.(Links for these products are at the bottom of the page.)
