2 more beautiful scenes with the After the Storm stamp set with video

Yesterday I shared the details on two cards featuring the After the Storm stamp set seen here.  Today I'm sharing two more.  

After the Storm set Save

Creating scenes is one of my favorite stamping techniques and this set features distinktive images we've never had before. 

After the storm sun Save

My color scheme here is So Saffron, Balmy Blue, Black & White. I did use our fabulous Blending Brushes to achieve the sky background.  They really do help you get a smooth finish.  Although here I wanted the sky to be slightly imperfect with light and darker areas for a cloudy look. 

After the storm sun Save

Here I created a mask for the sun using a 1 1/2" circle and sponged in So Saffron ink.  Then I stamped the sun's ray's.  To accent them I added the thin lines using 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink.  You can sponge the sky before or after you stamp the sun's rays. Since it's a light color ink it really doesn't matter.  

After the Storm So Saffron both Save

For the card below I used the rock & roll technique for the clouds.  You can see how this is done in the video below.  I used Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue ink on the cloud images.  

After the storm sun Save

Within the clouds I sponged a hint of a 'sun' with a sponge dauber & So Saffron ink and added the sun rays from that.  All images are from this stamp set except for the trees; they are from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.  The White greeting is 3/4" thick and the left end is punched with the Treasured Tag Pick a Punch. 

Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

  • Quick Hey Chick card

    Last week I received this cute card from Donna from the Stampin' Up! home office for reaching a sales milestone.  I think it's sweet & simple!  Two stamps and a bit of coloring. 

    It's one of those cards you could make a bunch of to share with friends for just about any reason. 

    Hey Chick card Donna Save

    This card is a great reminder that we don't have to always layer everything evenly. Choose some random pieces from your leftover pieces (that coordinate of course) and place them on the card at will.  Play around until you're happy and the card feels balanced.  

    The little 'hey chick' greeting and rhinestones add the perfect finishing touch!
