Landscape


Happy Saturday!
Meet today's card.  I'm playing with a new stamp from Penny Black called Escape.
PB has just released some wonderful landscape stamps and I was eager to get a chance to play around with them to see what I could come up with.
Sometimes, I feel a bit intimidated by 'scene' stamps, but this one was actually very easy to do once I pulled out my Brushos and a paintbrush.

So onto my card details.
I began by placing this stamp inside my Misti.  A stamp positioner is essential for this technique to work.  Next, I sprinkled some Brushos into my palette and diluted it with some water.  Since Brushos are so highly pigmented with colour, a little goes a long way.
I picked up some of the diluted colour with my wet paintbrush and painted it directly onto my stamp and pressed onto my paper.  I repeated that process until I was happy with the coverage and all of the stamp areas had been painted in.
To fill in the open areas left after I was done stamping, I used my wet paintbrush and just pulled the colour along the lines of where it had been stamped.  Not only did it blur the sharper lines from stamping a bit, but it also made the card look more hand painted.  
I was pleased with the results when done.
When it was all dry, I placed it back into my Misti and stamped the sentiment form the PB set that is called Destination Sentiment.  
I glued it onto a sand coloured piece of cardstock, then a blue piece, then onto my plain white card base.


Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

These new scenic stamps from PB are beautiful Karen, and I love what you've done with your Brushos to make a really vibrant and pretty scene, and the sentiment, nice and big and bold, finishes it perfectly. A gorgeous card! x
