A Featured Stamper Inspiration

Today's featured stamper over at SCS Is Becky! I was inspired by a very pretty card of hers called The Neighborhood. This is a pretty simple card structure, just DCWV card stock with some DP I had received in a paper stack from April.

I stamped this pretty image of teapots from Whipper Snapper Designs on watercolor paper, and started painting! I have not painted with watercolor much at all, so it is definitely a learning experience for me! One this I realized once I started painting, is that my image was a bit vague but I did not really want to start over. I think it came out pretty good for a newbie painter!

I also got a new camera today so I hope my pictures start coming out a bit better. Next...I want to set up a better lighting situation...probably a "do it yourself" light box.

Happy Sunday!

What another cold day here in Connecticut. I am so so so ready for spring....I received stamps yesterday from Oriental Trading ! I was a little skeptical, not sure what they would be like but I loved the gnome image. I was very pleasantly surprised! I love the stamp set, and the paper too!!

Mary is today's Featured Stamper over at SCS, so I cased one of her cards called Stinky Sweet, and created my own version!

I followed her card recipe, with the squares being 2 1/4" on each side. I stamped the image using Stazon Black, and colored with my colored pencils using Mineral Spirits for blending. The ribbon and brads add just a little touch to finish it off!
