Hidden Lane

Hidden Lane is a new scenic stamp which easily will transition from season to season. I chose autumn for my first stamping with it but I know I will reach for it when creating wintry and perhaps spring scenes also. I did the colouring for this little scene with several different mediums; the sky and grass were painted with watercolour paints, the trees and foreground were a combination of distress stains and bister and final details were added with watercolour pencils. The watercolour paper had been splattered with some masking fluid which gives the whole scene a slightly aged look. I think the sentiment which was probably intended for Christmas works equally well for Autumn which is a wonderful time of year and very beautiful where I live. Not that I’m wishing for it; as I’ve said before summer can stay as long as it likes!

Love your card! You are so awesome with the watercolor and bister. Love your backgrounds.
Wow Heather, the autumn colours are gorgeous and it just show that winter stamps can often be changed to suit a different season. x
Beautiful scene!
I love this!!! Could you do a more step by step explanation of how you did it? How are you stamping with Bister?
Hi Karen,
So glad you like it. I hope to do some photo or video tutorials with the new stamps soon. I am not so much stamping with bister as dropping bister into the wet ink or water where I have stamped or painted.

Thanks so much! I will be watching for the tutorial.
