Don and I visited Lynette yesterday. We had great time visiting. We took a short walk to a restaurant for lunch which was delicious and we got a few "steps in".
For our Stampfest, we were inspired by two cards made by Meghann Andrews. She used Gina K's Great Outdoors stamps on her June 30, 2025 blog and Youtube: Gina K. Designs The Great Outdoors Livestream.
We had some technical challenges. Lynette's Waffle Flower Postage Collage die did not have three rectangles going across. However, we were able to use my Gina K Master Layouts 4-it has a single rectangle postage die. So we cut three for each of us. We were glad we could squeeze these three postage pieces on a 5.5 x 4.25" card.
Lynette found a beautiful plaid stamp to use on blue cardstock, using Gina K's in the navy ink. She stamped both blue cards!
We used Lynette grip mat from Waffle flower. I cut strips of printer paper to mask off the rectangles, using washi tape to hold the paper in place. I liked how securely the grip mat held the three postage rectangles side by side as we worked.
For the sky and water, we ink blended Gina K wild dandelion, Stampin'Up only orange (I think) and Gina K powder blue.
Then we carefully stamped the rocks stamp and the birds with GK in the navy ink. The rocks stamp was not long enough, so we had to mask off part and re-stamp trying to "match" the scene. I think it worked out pretty well.
You can see how well Lynette inkblended the sky and water and how she did a great job on stamping the rocks, which was tricky because the stamp was not long enough for the whole width.
It was very fun creating this scene with the faux postage look. Having Meghann Andrews' sample was super helpful! Thank you Meghann for sharing your art with us on your blog and in your YouTube!
Now I'd like to try her golf version!
Just wanted to thank my blog visitors. Just a reminder that you can always click on an image to see a larger version.
Wishing you peace and all good!
