Another Beach Scene using my own Stamp Designs

Beach Scene using my Own Stamp Designs

Iv'e been busy designing more Landscape Scenic stamps - his one I particularly like as it's simple but gives the impression of depth (aerial perspective).

Iv'e designed lots of new images which are ready to be made into Stamps and Digi-images too.
Keep a look out for new cards etc on this blog. The sky and foreground for this card were created using dye inks and a soft brush. The shells,  driftwood  and background landscapes were coloured with Pro-markers and Zig Alcohol pens.

I've made a few more cards using my Build a Landscape Stamps and Digi-Stamps - This card is a scene using only 4 Stamps. 

Beach Scene using 4 Stamps


I coloured the background with inks using blue for the sky and sand colour for the dunes. I kept the background landscape stamps in a soft blue colour to create an aerial perspective look and stamped the grasses in the forground in deep brown. This brings the grasses to the foreground making you look into the picture.   I also went round the card with ink to create a darker edge, again leading your eye into the picture.

For this next scene I have used Watercolour Paper 140lb Not Pressed. I painted the background with blue paint and used a soft tissue to take off some of the colour whilst the paint was still wet.   This created the cloud effect that you can see here. For the tree stamp I used a brown ink pad. I also used the grass stamp in the foreground to create depth after painting the foreground using the paint on a dry brush.  The whole scene was then mounted onto brown cardstock to finish.

Designs by Nikki Smith

Nikki Smith another DoCrafts Designer and good friend of mine made  this lovely card using my "Build a Landscape" stamps (the Coast Path  Scene and Brick Wall) and a Daffodil Flower Frame
Digi - Stamp.

Nikki, a very talented lady used her design skills to come up with this lovely card. It's good to see how other Designers use my Stamps as we all have different ideas and unusual ways of putting the stamp images together to create something new.  Thanks Nikki. 

One of my new Digi-Stamp Frames made into a Card

Landscape Scene with Digi-Stamp

This card was made using my own designs of new Digi-Stamp Frames. I also used my own Build a Landscape set of stamps to create the scene inside.

The card itself was coloured with inks, spritzed onto a Glass mat and watered down. I then added mica ink and placed the cardstock on top to soak in the colours.
The image itself is coloured with Zig Markers and Pro Markers. Hope you like it.
