Christmas Stampscape Class

Have been trying to get into this class for the past two years.  So happy I finally got in, now I just have to put what I learned to good use.  These are the three cards that we made in class.  I especially like the ornament shape cut-out.  Bought 2 sets of ornament Dies last year and don't think any are this big.  Pretty simple really.  Use your BigShot & your Die to cut the desired shape into your basic card stock.  Using the shape as a guide, build your scene on glossy paper.  Color it with Memento, and/or Markers.  Add little embellishments such as the bow, ribbon, angel or presents and mount onto cardstocks.  Ken is a great teacher and works magic with the scenescape stamps.

 



My beach house (in my dreams)

My dream was always to live on the water - a tropical island would do very find thank you! This looks out from the North side of the house. So peaceful looking at the Palm Trees on the nearby island. The window was sponged in Caramel and has acetate panes, placed flat against the wallpaper background.

Looking the other direction, at night, we have a totally difference scenescape creation. Nothing beats the sound of waves gently lapping the shore.

Deer in the yard...

Windows in two different rooms give you very different scenes to look at. Both are on fairly dark, rich, wallpaper. This window scenescape was done in fall and shows the deer down by the water. The window is sponged lightly with Caramel, while acetate makes the window panes for this one.


The one in winter is off deer grazing in the yard, fairly close to the house. The scene is colored with Copics, and the window has soft subtle CO, C1, & O Copics to accentuate the markings on the window itself. Again with Crystal Lacquer for the window panes. This window has a pine sprig on top, made using a Martha Stewart Pine Branch Punch. The Berries are made using the 1/16th" hole punch. So tiny they are hard to work with.

Class Card 5 - Aqua Water

What a complex card. You can't imagine how many stamps are used to create this scene, or how they are used. So much to learn. How do you like that descriptive name - Aqua Water? Anyway, challenging but oh so fun.

2 Church Scenes

These two church scenes are quite different. I'm just playing with different layouts and stamps, etc. It's all a learning process.

Sea Scenes

Here are 2 nearly identical sea scenes that I have just completed. Not perfect, but I learned a lot by doing them.

Scenescape Swans

I am still taking Scenescape Lessons from Ken and am just having too much fun. This is my latest one. It is the first one I've done totally by myself, starting with a new stamp set, creating the layout, coloring with Copics and inks, etc., and I thought it turned out pretty good.
