The Shepherds

I love this new stamp of the man and his dog with ears matching the hat flaps from Viva Las Vegastamps!  Other stamps include:  sheep and trees also from VLVS; tall grass from Stampscapes; moutain from Coronado Island Design Stamps; bush from 100 Proof Press.
Colored pencils were used on this piece.

Birds in the Garden

This scene is one stamp made by Magenta.  The background peacock feather design is a paper napkin that was fastened to the cardstock using Mod Podge.  The embellishment is a real peacock feather pinned to the card with a velvet covered brad.  Coloring done with Copic Markers and glitter pens.

Koi

The koi stamp and wave stamp are from Paper Source (my favorite store!), and match the washi paper from the same store.

frogs

This was an experiment to see if I could use boldly patterned scrapbook paper as background for a quick scene.  The only stamp used is the stamp of the frogs.  Colored with Radiant Pearls to match the shiny embossed printed paper.

Fish on marbled paper

I had a chance to visit Dick Blick's store in San Francisco and picked up this beautiful marbled paper.  It reminded me of water, so I stamped a few cards using a fish stamp (unknown company).

GOT STEAMPUNK?

Tried something new with this one.  I took some Architex adhesive tiles by EK Success and placed them in a grid pattern.  Using heavy snips I cut some tiles to place in between the circles.  The steampunk dog was stamped onto the tiles with StazOn ink and colored with Copic markers.  All pieces were layered over an old piece of window screen and held together with screwhead brads.

THE END OF THE JOURNEY

As the knights near the end of their journey, the lovely maiden also departs, her watchful presence never noted by those below.
The frame of this piece is a piece of  scroll scrapbook paper cut down to fit.
