WOW! Talk about getting excited about new stamps! The geek is coming out of me again.
This is one of the new sets from Kindred Stamps January Release.
Size Doesn't Matter
And I have to say, I had sooo much fun making these cards. I even had a go at making my own backgrounds using my copic markers ( inspired by Amy Young and Jammie Clark). And I loved how they turned out.
The first one is my favourite. Between the character, the grass around the path and the storm clouds with the sunrays peaking through, I love the simplicity of this. Looks almost like a postcard.

Size Doesn't Matter
And I have to say, I had sooo much fun making these cards. I even had a go at making my own backgrounds using my copic markers ( inspired by Amy Young and Jammie Clark). And I loved how they turned out.
The first one is my favourite. Between the character, the grass around the path and the storm clouds with the sunrays peaking through, I love the simplicity of this. Looks almost like a postcard.
This next one was the first design I sketched for this set. And I love the use of real chain. I was originally going to draw the chain in but so glad I didn't. A little 3D on a card does not hurt at all. And I love the little smoky background behind the characters, so easy to do with Distress Oxides.
Here is another hand drawn background. This is the second version The first one was a little to sandy coloured and didn't fit the mood for the theme, so then I went with my W copic family. The rock, the"creature"and ring are sitting on, is popped up with foam tape. All the sentiments used on these cards are actually from this same stamp set. They fit so perfectly with the theme too!
This last one is very simple. A mix of oxides to make the background then copic for the trees. I felt it needed something else so I added the ferns to make it look like a little snap shot of these fellows, walking on a log, on their journey.
I hope you enjoyed my creations as much as I did making them.

ReplyDeleteYou are too kind...lol. Thanks Marcia xo
DeleteLove these! How did you do the sun rays with copics? Blender pen to remove some ink?
ReplyDeleteWhite ink stenciled on top? I've got to know! 😉
DeleteLOL you crack me up! Yes it was white ink over a stencil. The grey clouds were Oxide ink. Thanks for looking!
DeleteOMG. These are great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cami :-)
DeleteI seriously love those sunrays on your first card! I'm going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne. Don't forget to share your creation with us!
DeleteO my gosh.. I am in love with ALL these.. How on earth did you do that cave rock background?
ReplyDeleteOh.. and.. did you put a REAL chain on that one???
DeleteMIchelle the rock background was just random hand drawn stones to fit together in pencil first. Then started with the darkest colour (in between rocks) then worked my way to the centre of each stone, from darkest to lightest.
DeleteAnd yes the chain is real. Looked so much better than my hand drawn attempt! Hahaha
DeleteThese are beautiful, rich background scenes! The first one is easily my favorite. So much depth and dimension in it!
