I love scene stamping and the latest stamp sets from Crafty Individuals are great for this and mix perfectly with a lot of the tree stamps sets I already have from them. Yes my favourite stamps must be tree stamps!
I chose a panorama layout partly because I wanted to fit more stamps and partly because it would be a complete change to my default setting of a square make!
Stamps sets:
CI-460 : I used all the stamps in the set
CI-449 : the figures
CI-450 : The trio of trees on the left and the trees directly in ahead of the figures.
Since I stamped this, Crafty Individuals added a stamp set with sheep that would have looked at home in my empty paddock... If only I'd known....
I have used Versafine black for all the stamping and used regular watercolours and brushes for the colouring.
The paper is watercolour card which I cut to size. (approximately 11cm x 30cm or 4.5"x12").
I quickly painted a bit of cardboard to mount the painting to take the photo whilst I decide if I want to frame this scene or work on another (better, obviously!)
So there you have it an English landscape and no drawing involved!
Do let me know what you think in your comments...
I am entering the Fashionable Stamping, Stamping Sensations and the Craft Stamper TIMI challenges.
Utterly gorgeous Christine so realistic and definitely looks like an artist has drawn everything with paints, pen and ink but as you say no drawing involved. Love it.

ReplyDeleteMoi aussi j'emprunte bien sûr, pour mettre cette carte au format panorama sur mon board d'inspiration CI!!!!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO ma "copinette", cette scène est magnifique et fonctionne super bien malgré la difficulté de la taille (très différente !) des tampons en avant-plan et en arrière-plan.. C'est superbe !!!

I love this Christine and I think that the perspective is absolutely perfect. I'm a great fan of Crafty Individuals and I think the stamps that you've used work together so well, you don't really need any sheep on there. Fabulous stamping, fabulous colouring and very inspiring too! Thank you for sharing this with us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Sandra x
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful scene Christine and really like how you have placed the children in the foreground, it's lovely to see you at Stamping Sensations, many thanks for joining in.
