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.  


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

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. 

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.  

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.  

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!

  • Treasures of Life Easel Calendar card


    Look at this stunning card Annette made for our latest Team swap. 

    She used Petal Pink & Gray Granite card stock. I believe she used Black Memento ink for the stamped images.  The pretty image is colored in with Blends markers; so pretty!  

    Check out the Treasures of Life stamp set here. 

    Other additions are Pink Petal Organdy ribbon and Elegant Faceted gems. 

    I made a video on creating these calendars; see it here.
