Winter Stream

The new Stampscapes stamps include some really wonderful snowy stamps. Here I used the Snowy Brook. Love the snow covered stones and the little stream. Behind the stream I stamped trees, using three different pine tree stamps and making them smaller at the point furthest from the eye. Wipe off the lower edge of the trees before stamping, so that it looks like they are standing in, and not on top of, the snow. The scene was stamped with Jet Black ink on glossy cardstock and coloured the normal way with dye inks and a Colorbox Stylus Tool. I used mainly light inks, Aqua, Weather Vane and a little bit of Speckled Egg. At the edges I used a darker grey ink, still wanting to keep the scene pretty light. TFL!
