Woodland Dusk

The ‘Woodland Wonder’ stamp works beautifully for a restful or dramatic scene depending on the colours you add to the sky. The soft colours of dusk in the sky above seemed to fit with a sympathy or prayerful sentiment. The sky was a scrap waiting for a purpose; it was created when I stamped the image of the woodland wonder stamp on acetate to use with the stamp positioner. Several days later the ink was still wet on the acetate so I pressed it onto some wet watercolour paper. The blurry blues you see are the result. I added the black image then stayed within the colour scheme for matting and card base. I’m not sure what the ink on the acetate was but my guess is Memento Paris Dusk.
Supplies:
Stamps: Woodland Wonder, Eloquence (PB)
Inks: Memento Paris Dusk & Versafine Onyx Black(Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Fabriano hotpressed watercolour paper, Neenah Epic Black 100lb cardstock, Mix & Match Periwinkle paper (PB)

Looks so real! Then when you tell us that it’s basically created from a leftover scrap — WOW! Have started keeping some of my cast offs, just in case you share something amazing for me to try. It never looks as grand as your creations, but it’s got me thinking and experimenting. Thank You.
