Stamps are so versatile, you can use them as a focal image,
build up a scene, create a background with them, make your own stamps, use
found objects as stamps….
For this week’s Craft Barn challenge I created a scene with
different stamps.
First I colored the sky blue and the grass green with brushos to
set the scene
then came the stamping (which is not pristine due to the nature
of my journal). I stamped a tree surrounded with all kind of flying creatures:
birds, dragonflies and butterflies. On top I added splatters with a wet
paintbrush which I dipped in the brushos. (warning: this is very addictive and is very hard to stop once you started) I also added a bit of gold by swiping
the page with a card to tie in the page with the page next to it (which has gold
lettering). Finally I added a rubbon with the text The great escape.
The page looks great, Vicky! Love how you added the gold...it looks like it belongs, even though we don't see the page that is beside it :)
ReplyDeleteSuper page Vicky. You can tell you really enjoyed creating this page. I can see why it could become addictive. Lovely post.

soo addictive :-)
DeleteLove flicking brushos too... mesmerizing isn't it? You've created a lovely scene on this page.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely and thank you.
DeleteLovely page. It looks like an explosion of creatures and colour coming out of the tree. Those Brushos are just so exciting as you never quite know what you will get.

That was exactly what I was trying to achieve, great I succeeded :-)
DeleteWow, your page is fantastical! It's like a scene from a tropical jungle when something disturbs the air and all flying creatures set off for the safety of the skies. Awesome! :D
ReplyDeletemission accomplished :-)
DeleteMy favourite colour combo, and quite ethereal! I love my Brushos too, and I love splattering any kind of paint, which usually goes everywhere!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely kaybee, next to my page and on my hands was way more splattering than on the page :-)
DeleteNever tried Brushos, but have heard of them. Love the stamping against that background!
ReplyDeleteThey are fun to play with
DeleteJust beautiful! Thank you for joining in The Craft Barn Challenge.
