It is my turn to host day 10 of the Stampavie 40 Days of Samples. CHA is going strong and we have heard great things from Michelle about the success of the Stampavie booth. She also shared some fun photos as well.
I am sharing a Gillian Roberts project today. It is called In the Park and is a darling little girl on a swing. My favorite stamping technique is watercolor painting using a brush and reinkers mixed with water. This image was so much fun to play with. I hand sketched and painted the little tree limb and cut it out to hang the swing from.
Here is a closer view of this precious little girl. If you look closely you can see the sparkle on her clothing, the flowers and on the tree limb holding her swing. I love creating very plain frames and card backgrounds that allow the major focus to be placed on the scene and image.
The image was stamped once on watercolor paper to create the scene base and again on scrap watercolor paper to be colored, cut out and popped up. I wanted to show her body popped up to appear sitting on the swing seat. I used grass sprigs and texture images from my Kittie Kits Outdoor Master to create the little background scene. The sky was sponged with blue using a small cloud template. The frame was created using a pair of Nestabilities oval dies.
Hope on over to the Stampavie Design Team Blog to check out all the wonderful samples the team has posted over the last week or so. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Extremely cute Kittie. You are such a talented artist. Love how you made your hand sketched branch look 3D.
Oh WOW!! Kittie, each time I see a Stampavie image on your cards I am again so thankful they chose you to be on the DT. Their images are perfect for your watercoloring techniques.
what a sweet card Kittie. I dig the way you made her pop!!
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
so cute, it is so neat how you take a stamp and can build a whole scene around it!
This little swinging girl is so cute Kittie, especially with her flying pony tail!! love your wonderful backyard scene and the bright cs colors!
Awwwww! She is so darn sweet and beautifully colored by you! Your Outdoor Master images are so perfect for your sweet scenes!
Just a reminder: I’ll be in your area starting later next week (Feb 4-12). If you have time to get together, even if it’s just for lunch one day, let me know!! I would love to see you.
What a delicious scene of a little girl’s delight with her swings! Reminds me of the hours I must have spent on my swings as a youth.
