Hi Everyone, I have 3 DT cards today, I hope you will be able to visit each of them, this is for -
I love Nature in all forms, well maybe not spiders, but you know what I mean. Anyhow, after looking through my stamps, I decided to use a combination of company stamps and a cut file, you should know me by now, I'm an anything goes person with my crafting. Mix and match and all that.
I have a few birthdays within the family
this and next month, so I am being prepared. I have been wanting to use
the "boulder" stamp for a while, not knowing what to do, then looking
through my stamps I saw this magnificent stag and thought he should be
somewhere tall and be proud. That's what I hope he is.
I went
about this all wrong, I think, but got somewhere near to what I wanted. I
stamped the stones first, then the stag, and realised I didn't have my
background done, never mind, a few stencilled clouds and ink left on
blending brushes were added to the background. The colours are pale ish, as I
wanted the stag to be, as I said, standing proud. I added a simple
sentiment and clear embossed it. The finished scene was then layered
onto dark brown card.
I
decided he should have at least one tree around him, so off to my Cameo
and I cut a tree. I'm not a confident stamper and have problems making a
scene etc. However, I'm quite pleased with the result.
