Lynette and I spent a little time stamping on Friday, June 16. We used a Hero Arts Color Layering Village stamp set. We were inspired by the sample card on the Hero Arts blog. I have had this stamp for some time. Glad to finally use it!

We used Lynette's Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the village image. It was difficult to get the center of the image stamped well. When we went back a second time to press and try to get a good image, but had some blotching and also a shift in the paper at one point. Maybe next time I'll bring my misti and we can compare it to the TH Stamp Platform.
Used Versafine onyx black ink to stamp the village outline. When dry we stamped the fill in stamp with Gina K wild dandelion ink, adding some Distress rusty hinge to just the edges.
We made clouds using Gina K's technique with torn paper, ink and blending brush. Gina has a nice tutorial YouTube near the 5:45 minute mark of Peaceful Seaside Cards & Creating Your Own Cloud Stencil - Stamp and Chat Replay Used Stampin' Up bliss blue ink for our sky with the torn paper stencil we made.
For the column like trees and round shrubs, we used Gina K jelly bean green ink. On the more "solid" stamp we stamped off on scrap paper before stamping on our panel, to get a lighter shade of green. Then we stamped the less "solid" stamp with the jelly bean green "full strength".
We sponged distress tea dye ink around the village and the trees and shrubs.
The happy birthday sentiment from Gina K's Sketched Flowers set was stamped in Versafine onyx black ink.

The flamingos were stamped in Versafine onyx black ink and colored with colored pencils.
The leaves were stamped in Stampin' Up's green galore and tempting turquoise ink.
The "sweet" stamp was stamped in Stampin' Up's positively pink.
Thank you for visiting! Wishing you peace and all good!
