Since I cannot draw, sketch or paint I stamp. My husband, Mom, sister and cousin have all painted beautiful scenes and I have many of them hanging in my home. I think this is why I love creating stamped scenes. Scene builder sets are some of my favorites; it truly makes me feel like an artist! I made these cards on a recent FB Live. *video is posted below
The After the Storm stamp set (seen here) is France Martin's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. It caught my eye right away. I had a play with it one afternoon and created these cards.
I'm sharing two today and will give the details on the other two tomorrow.
You might wonder where I got the hills/mountain image. Well it's the clouds stamp! I love finding new ways to use stamps to create something beautiful yet unexpected!
The colors here are Fresh Freesia, So Saffron and Garden Green. I used a direct to paper technique, swiping my ink pad across the White CS for the horizon. I stamped the clouds using Fresh Freesia ink.
I did add just a bit of Pale Papaya ink at the top and swiped my White Craft ink pad across it at the end.
For this next card I used a totally different technique with the Blending Brushes.
I used the following inks: Old Olive, Pool party, So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I used Blending Brushes for the Pool Party and So Saffron inks and for the sunset I used a sponge dauber for the Calypso Coral.
Again I used the large cloud stamp to create the hills.
Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!
