Creating the Scene

Part of my love of stamping is taking something as simple as a single image and creating a scene using ink and other  complimentary stamps.

Here are three examples of how I took the tree image from the Tree for All Seasons set to build card scenes;

The first card I created used the stamp set as it was originally designed; to create trees from the seasons.

So I took the tree image and created a tri-fold card with a fall landscape….

…. a winter landscape…..

….and then finally a Spring theme.

Friends are Always in Season

Come and visit my personal blog, Your Memories, to find out how easy it is to make this simple landscape using inks or an airbrush system.

Then for my second card, I wanted to create a more elaborate scene with more dimension and depth.  So using the same techniques to create the hills of my landscape, I created this card;

And here it is open…

Greeting from Here… to There

I used lighter colours of ink for objects farther away; for instance, I used richer, darker brown ink for the trees positioned in the foreground (close to you) and lighter brown inks for the trees farther away.  I used the same technique for the hills; lighter ink for those hills farther away and richer, darker ink for the hills that appear closer.  The sentiment I used was from the Neighborhoods stamp set.

Here’s a quick peak at the layered butterfly on the front of my card:

I used two different butterfly images from the Colorful Companions stamp set and then glue dotted the body’s together and then placed some foam adhesive under the wings to have them remain above one another.

And for my final card, I wanted to create a framed scene, so I placed the tree image from the Trees for All Seasons set it on my 3.5 x 4.5 acrylic block and using some good old Scotch tape, I covered a few of the branches that I didn’t want to appear on my piece of cardstock.  I patted my stamp on to my ink pad, removed the tape covering the branches I didn’t want to stamp and then stamped my image.  This allowed me a gap on my branch to attach my light pink die cut bird;

You’re A Great Friend

For my sentiment, I used a simple one from the Lines of Life stamp set.  The myStamp BOX stamps sets are flexible enough to curve and bend so I bent my sentiment to fit the curve of my brown circular patterned paper.

I hope you enjoyed the “scenery” today and that you return again and again to the myStamp BOX blog for lots of continued inspiration from the myStamp BOX team!
