Boat by a Lake

Today I have a couple of stamped cards using the same stamp -  Nellie's Choice: Idyllic Floral Scenes - Lake with Rowing Boat.

I have gone for two different looks - neither of which need you to be able to paint. Click on the pictures to see the video demonstratations.

The first uses Distress Oxides - Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade to create a sunset effect. The image is then stamped over this with Versafine Clair Nocturne.

The second is a simple sepia effect created by stamping in Ground Espresso Distress Oxide onto cream card, and then using water to move the ink.

Both sentiments are Julie Hickey Designs Everyday Sentiment Stamps.

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.
