Summer of color 4

This is the first time I'm participating in this fun event.

I wasn't sure if I could make it so I'm a little late with my entry. I chose to use one of my own handmade stamps for this piece. It's also made on a handmade paper.

I found it hard to get a good image from the stamp, not sure what didn't work but I used a sharpie to get the lines even, after stamping. I've used Twinkling H2O's for my colors and am pleased with my result based on how quick it was done.

There's not much pure yellow in my piece, but it's certainly used to make the greens and also to mix up the brown color for the trees. My pink spots are some butterflies just to add some life to the piece.

I hope to put a little more effort in next week, and I'm looking forward to that.
Have a beautiful weekend everyone, and thanks for visiting.

My stamps.

 

I have to tell you about the stamps I made yesterday.

They're ment for use in a project I'm working on, but there's no way I can't share them with you.
All you need to make these are : a sketch of what you'll make into a stamp, fairly thin rope, a good glue, I use rice glue, matte medium or some fluid acrylics, and some sturdy cardboard. That's it.

I saw this tecknique on you-tube and was so inspired that I had to try it. And now, that I have a specific reason to make them, it's even more fun.

I made a tree, the red one first to see if I could do it. I could, but am not sure that this tree will do it in my project. I made a second one and I like it alot better. My stamps are sized to fit a A5 sheet.
By now I have made several tests, focusing on the stamp alone. Today I'm going to figure out how to achieve the right background. I have a vision of how I want it to be, so I'm searching untill I'm close to it.

The small ones abowe are just my first attempts to see if the stamp would do the job. Wow, this is so cool! I can feel I'm on my way to something here.
Have a try yourself, they are really cheap to make. Cost next to nothing!
Now my stamps are waiting for further adventures, have a nice day folks!

ENJOY!
