I’m in the mood to use the Country Livin’ stamp set.
As I look out my studio admiring nature, I simply had to break open this set and start playing with it. The weather is starting to warm up and our hens are pecking away enjoying the warmth. I live in the suburbs but the sights and sounds of our chickens in my backyard feel like I’m in the countryside.
I love the images in this set – the truck, the boots and that guitar. They are perfect for colouring so let’s bring out our colouring tools too.
Here’s how:
- Fill your Water Painter with water.
- Stamp your image using Staz-On ink
- Use water colour pencils or your ink pads and start colouring. Take it easy on the Water Painter and squeeze out the water gently as needed.
I used Designer Series Papers (DSP) and then attached the cut-out-coloured images with dimensionals for quick, easy and fun cards.
