I got home and was very excited to practice and realized.... I don't have enough of the colors grouped together to do the proper shading.
So I will keep practicing with what I have and slowly build up my colors.
I took my class at a stamp store in Eau Claire Wisconsin Named: Picture This http://www.mmemorieslast.com/. Lovely store, class room and a scrapping retreat right behind it. If you are in the area... Worth the drive to check it out.
This all leads into me acquiring some new stamps.
I picked up this great background stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms... Scrapblock Newspaper Ads 6 x 6.I new I wanted to ink it up and used the light grey dye ink to create my background. The circle is 5 1/2" and mounted on a 5" x 5" square black cardstock.
I stamped the Flourishes Poppy onto the stamped background using Versafine Ink and used my watercolor pencils to color in the flowers.
I attached the little charm from Plaid and this is what it says:
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.

De todas maneras siempre aprendemos contigo porque te explicas muy bien, así que cuando quieras haz un tutorial y te lo agradeceremos. Saludos. buen fin de semana.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your certification.
ReplyDeleteI really like that you chose grey ink for your background stamps. Makes it really look like an old newspaper and lets the poppies be the star of the project.
