Today I am showcasing my son's birthday card. It's hard sometimes to come up with something that is more guy oriented and less cutesy. I opted to try using my stampscapes.
Basically I stamped the scene using Stazon black ink and then went back and used copic markers to give the trees some color and sponged on the rest of the inks for grass and sky. I added dots of gel pen to give highlights to the trees and also to give an idea of flowers.
It's not entirely a birthday feeling kind of card but he loves the outdoors so I thought it might be a nice change to something I normally would give him.
Hi there, this is my little spot in the world where I can share with you some of the passions of my life. I hope you find this a place of inspiration that you can use or share. If you find something you like please feel free to "scraplift me" as they say, you can credit me or not either way I don't mind, just enjoy the journey.

Halloween - Trick Or Treat
When I first started stamping I was intrigued by the Stampscapes stamps, although they were fairly pricey I slowly accumulated a few, but like most things I never really used them because quite frankly I wasn't too sure how to use them. This of course was a long time before Youtube.
I could never bring myself to purge them because they still hold a soft spot in my creative mind and one day I hope to master them. I have decided I might need to go buy a few more. Seems in order to have a nice scene you need at least three or four of the of same scenery. Mine are all over the place.
In the mean time I brought out a few and decided they would work well for this window scene.
I have also decided this window die doesn't get nearly as much love as it should. Seems the only time I use it is for Halloween, so now I have a goal to use it for at least one of my Christmas cards as well.

Window die is from Poppystamps, Cat die is Papertrey Ink, background stamps from Stampscapes and the little witch die is a punch from who knows where. I can remember a time I used to go to the Expo and buy these little pkgs of punched things and these were part of that collection.
