Going Stampscaping
Posted By Phil on May 26, 2008
Now that my first semester of grad school is over, I’ve found myself full of creativity. Last week I headed over to my favorite stamp store here in the valley for some Stampscapes classes. Had a great time making cards, and have gotten more independent and broken out my own stamps for the occasion. The two cards below were each made with a single set I picked up at the Carson Convention in March.
For this first card, I used Stampscapes’s “Hot Sun”, “Flock”, “Row Boat”, “Palm Island”, and “Palms With Huts (small)” stamps. I used a yellow base for the background, then added orange, pink, and shades of red on top. All inks were Marvy Matchables.
For this second card, I used Stampscapes’s “Hot Sun”, “Row Boat”, “Frond #2″ and “Frond #3″ stamps. I used a small amount of yellow in the middle of the card, then surrounded that with pink, wine, and purple colors. Again, all inks were Marvy Matchables. When I was doing the background for this card, it looked like an egg yolk with bubblegum-colored egg white surrounding it. I positively hated it at the time, but don’t feel the same sense of loathing now that I did then.
I love Stampscapes…You have done really well here Phil!
