Sunflower Sunshine



Hard to believe another week has flown by. This time next week we’ll be into a new month!  
This week I am spotlighting 2 cards using BKRS stamp called Sunflower Sunshine. Although they look nearly identical the difference this time is the technique used for coloring. The first image is stamped on matte CS and colored with prisma colors. For the sky I used the cloud stencil 
And sponged on very pale dye inks. 
The 2nd is stamped on watercolor paper with Stazon and watercolored. The background is wet on wet technique.

Swan Scene

It’s another week and another project post. This Swan Scene was stamped with dye inks and colored with pan pastels applied with makeup brushes.  The distant trees are the tops of “Evergreens” using several pale shades of greens and lavender stamped off once or twice.  The image in the upper corners is “Corner Foliage”  also stamped in several colors to achieve depth  

 

This card is a quick and simple project using Swan Scene silhouette stamp from Blueknightrubberstamps.com.  I stamped this on glossy CS. The background color is dye inks applied with sponges. There are a few white gel pen highlights added to the stems and water. 
All images used are from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. Check them out here:  blueknightrubberstamps.com
Thanks for stopping by.

Chickadee and Fencepost

Hi there. It’s that time of the week again. 
This card was created using Blue Knight Rubber Stamps “Chickadee and Fencepost”. I stamped this in black on matte CS and pan pastel color was applied with makeup brushes for the background and sponges for the smaller detailed areas.   

This card is the same image stamped on glossy CS with black dye ink. For the cloudy sky I used the cloud stencil also from BKRS and sponged on dye ink. The detailed areas are colored with markers.

Seaside Treasure Hunt

This is a photoscape card. I printed the sky photo and stamped the silhouette image.  This may be the easiest technique to create loads of drama.  Give it a try!

This is the same image used here on matte CS. The background is colored using pan pastels. I start in the middle of the page or where the horizon line will be and apply the lightest color. I continue blending darker tones as I move toward the top and bottom of the card. I stamped the image last with versafine.
