During our stamp retreat, Heather offered us a sketch challenge. I looked through the stamps I had with me and decided to do something with my pirate set. I had bought it to scrapbook a pirate murder mystery party I had last year, but hadn't used it yet. Here's what I came up with. BTW, I drew a lot of the images on the map because the stamps were simply too big for what I wanted on this card. You can't tell from the pic, but an extra touch was adding metallic gold to the treasure chest and the hook.
Recipe:
CS: White, Brown from Penelope collection
Papers: scrap of tan for map
Stamps: from the Pirates set by TAC
Inks: Palette Ink - Burnt Umber, Noir
Other: Gold leafing pen, Watercolor pencils, Pop dots, stipple brush, Tombow blending pen
Well it's hard to get myself out of lazy vacation mode and back into the swing of things, but I did make a couple of cards tonight. Here's the first.
Techniques: If you're wondering how I got the 2 shades of pink and green, I "Dirty stamped" (gasp)! Ink up your stamp, stamp it off on a scrap once and then stamp it on your paper, giving you a fainter image. I also used a makeup sponge dipped in the pink ink to add color around the white CS and then ran the edge across my green stamp pad for more definition.
