Stampscapes - Craft A Scene Challenge

Hullo there everyone - well isn’t this so very exciting? Our very first entry in Craft a Scene Challenge and this one is Anything Goes, as long as it is a scene.

Please do join us in the fun of this very new Challenge!


Now I have had this piece of brayered glossy card here in my stash box begging to be used and thought of it when I was reading Sheree’s post saying sometimes she uses Stampscapes with colours that are way out there…
Well, my background is certainly that. You will see the recipe for this background on this post. It is done with some Iridescent Medium and Big and Juicy ink pad, Hydrangea (aren’t you glad at times like this you have a blog – I had no idea which ink pads I had used on this till I looked at this post!). The Iridescent medium is amazing and this why it has the lovely shimmer on it shows up best on top right of photo), making it seem more life like.
I saw it being used with watercolours. Using it with a brayer, as far as I know it is my idea – I just though it would work well. It does, but don’t put it on the brayer – as my earlier post says, I put it on the paper.

Now to the Stampscapes.

Wow, I love them! Used here are the following stamps:
Reeds 067B and 304B, Lakeside Cabin small 147F, and Row-boat 166A, partially stamped Gulls 302A, Rock Duo 131A, Ripples 069A, Oak branch 203G

Also edged around glossy card with black ink, then mounted on back handmade paper, with corner cut with Martha Stewart Deco Shell Corner punch, mounted on rippled blue card to complete the card

So that is how I craft a scene!

Thanks for popping over for a look and a chat and may God bless your day wherever you may be,

    Totally amazing. Just like a painting. You have got so much depth into the scene. Have been over to the new challenge blog and going to give it a go. Have no idea what I'm doing or how to do it but one of my resolutions for 2012 is to master as mny new technigues as possible. Hugs Mrs A.

    I am going to go out on a bit of a limb and say I like your recycling and getting a head start idea, lets you hold on to the magic a bit longer to. Plus your right there are lots of ideas around that never got used! What lovely nice surprises to get cards in the post. I loved all the secret Santa stuff (the giving and receiving!) Happy new year.

    Hi Shaz, thank you for your kind words over on my blog and thank you for the link and tips on brayering. I will watch it later when I get a minute and I will keep trying!! I love the blue and purple tones to your card - so subtle and elegant. That rowboat in front is perfectly placed. Lovely to see your work :)
