Autumn sunset by Brenda

Good morning everyone, Brenda here with some of my creations made for Lesley's Hochanda shows where she showcases some wonderful new stamps.

I've always had a bit of a thing for tree stamps so was really in my element with the new Trees A Crowd set which I used for the above card. I started by creating a background using masks and Distress Inks plus Pan Pastels, I then stamped four of the trees from the set, used second generation stamping to create the shadows in the water and used a fine line pen to continue the ground lines. The sentiment is from the new Acorn House set.

This one features Garden House which I repeat stamped to extend the fence line and flowers which I decided are Hollyhocks, coloured in with pencils, added some clouds with Pan Pastels and matted onto a back panel stamped with the honeycomb pattern from Honey Bee set. The sentiment from the same set as the focal image is stamped onto a torn piece of vellum along with a Bee also from Honey Bee set.

A simple four panel base created on a score board and Acorn House, Garden House, Heath Robinson and Tree House stamped onto tags using Versafine Majestic Blue, some ink splattering around the images and just yellow colouring added.

For this one I used a frame card inking the frame with DI's and using Versafine Clair stamped trees from Trees A Crowd (before assembly) and on the insert I used deeper shades of DI's, a sun mask and stamped the tree using the same Clair ink and added some branches around the top of the piece plus some hand drawn birds.

Thanks so much for visiting today.
