Hi crafter's
Time for another Crafty Individuals challenge, it's all about Scenic Stamping. I have just bought the new tree stamps so had to use them. I began by stamping the trees over to the right hand side in black Archival ink then stamp again joining the tree stamp up. Colour the sky with Stonewashed ink and a duster brush by Inkylicious. Add some Victorian Velvet ink along the tree line working up towards the sky, and Bundled Sage ink at the bottom. Next I stamped CI-302 in Bamboo Leaves along the bottom. Colour the flowers with a little Victorian Velvet. Ink up CI-017 in Stonewashed and dab off some ink around the edge then stamp second generation stamping in the sky, leaving the centre clear. To add interest ink up a flourish stamp in blue ink and stamp along the top and side edges. The stamp I used for the sun was one of the free stamps that come with an order, I inked up with Victorian Velvet and Wild Honey and used second generation ink. I wanted to keep this very soft. Stamp the words from CI-286 in black just underneath the trees. To finish I added white highlights to the trees and the land under the trees. I also run a green pencil under the tree line. Mat on to navy card then on to a white base card.
That's it for this time.
Thanks for stopping by
