Scenic Stamping

I haven't done much scenic stamping, but I saw a video a few years ago with an interesting technique I thought I'd try.


First I colored the stamp by applying markers directly to the rubber.  Then I breathed on the stamp to make sure it was still moist, and pressed it onto watercolor paper.  Then I used a water brush to go over the images slightly.  There are six stamps in total on this ATC.

Lines and Bubbles

This Artist Trading Card was inspired by a free webinar I attended lately:  So You Say You Can't Draw, an art journaling event hosted by Quinn McDonald.


The drawing of lines and bubbles was suggested as a prompt if you're not quite sure what to do in your journal, but I decided to try it as an artist trading card.

Moving Sale

Our local art supply store moved recently and had a moving sale.  Needless to say I picked up a few stamps.  The set on the right side isn't exactly my style, but for 26 cents I had to buy it.  I like the guitar anyway LOL


I've been practicing my handwriting for my journal too!
