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
I bought this set out of the new Serendipity Magalogue and couldn't wait to play with it. I wasn't sure about coloring this birdcage so I went with paper piecing instead. If you're not familiar, this is what you do: Stamp birdcage on tan CS. Also stamp birdcage on patterned paper and on light plum. Cut out the areas you would like in pattern and in plum and glue to original image on the tan CS. I really like this technique when I'm using a stamp featuring a character or animal in clothing. It's so easy to give them designer clothing.

My mom ordered a couple of sets from me and since I haven't seen her yet, I didn't think she'd mind if I cut them out for her and made sure they worked properly ;-)

I played some more with the sweet skunks set and like these results much better than yesterday's. I decided that embossing them with clear EP definitely made for a cleaner, sharper image. Here it is with simple CS layering and a few fun embellishments
And here it is with decorative papers from the Genevieve collection. I think these colors suit this set well.
