Xmas stamping ...

I've been working with another set of the Scene-It stamps from Hobby Art called Town House.  I must admit that the first picture I made was shamelessly copied from one I found on the internet.  However, my filing system has let me down and I can't give credit to the original designer - apologies.






Then with that success under my belt, I started making up my own little scenes, watercolouring and turning them into cards. Notice how the first two are almost the same, apart from the colouring which changes the feel.

These little scenes are addictive :)

Stamping ...

I know this blog is usually quilt-related, but if I want to keep it going at the moment, I'll have to share some of the cardmaking stuff I've been doing.

I've been playing with some Hobby Art stamp sets called Scene-Its.  They are small acrylic stamps of various components (houses, trees, animals, grasses, etc) that you build into a scene.  The idea is that you then colour them and use the finished scenes in cardmaking.  I've shown them both before and after the watercolours were added ... what a difference!

There is so much scope for variation and they are not too time consuming (these finished scenes only measure 8" x 3")  These sets are such fun to play with  :)
