Bear sighting


It's been a month since I last posted in my blog. I have some new scenes, but playing in the garden has gotten in the way of playing with my inks. Hopefully I can show some more soon. Tonight I wanted to share a swap card that I made. These bears were sighted at the farm pond playing in the water. This was made for a Sutter swap with Adirondack dye inks.

Design cards



I originally intended for this blog to include only scenic stamping, but I have created or CASED some design cards that I'd like to share with you for ideas and inspiration. I will post them on occasion. My primary stamping passion is scenic stamping. Outside of stamping, my passion is my yard and garden and it is that time of year. If you don't catch me on the blog, I'll be working the garden.




Cornish Heritage Pirate Boy


I found that as I looked through my blog, I had not shown you the pirate boy from Cornish Heritage. I made this one for a friend this summer.

Birds


It's been a while since I shared anything with you. Summer gardening has kept me so busy. This is one stamp from Coronado Island Stamps that I used to practice my coloring with copics.

my sister's grandson


I made some note cards depicting my sister's grandson doing some fun little boy things. The child stamp is from Art Impressions.

Tropical huts

Here is a tropical scene using Stampscapes and Beeswax stamps. I colored with Copics and did the sky with Adirondack dye inks using the paper towel technique. I use that sky technique often. The scene is done on cryogen paper. Here is another scene I stamped, then colored later.

Stampscapes watermill





During a Stampscapes weekend in Chicago some time ago, I stamped this image while watching and learning from Kevin, the owner of Stampscapes. It was an amazing weekend. I met many amazing artists and friends. I finally colored the scene with Adirondack inks on glossy paper.
