Have you noticed the stamp set on the inside of the back cover of our Holiday Catalogue? It is Nature's Beauty and $4 of each sale goes to mental health organizations in our area. I love the images, a deer, a rabbit and a fox. To me, the images are very life like and calm. We just found out that a dear friend passed away so I needed a sympathy card and I chose this set.
I started with a Crumb Cake base and added a Crumb Cake layer that I embossed with our Woodland embossing folder. The deer is stamped on Whisper White with Early Expresso and then I used my Aquapainter and a little Crumb Cake ink to quickly colour him in. Whisper White is OK for watercolouring as long as you don't use too much water or keep going over your image. And since I used our Early Expresso ink that is not waterproof, I definitely didn't want to use too much water!. I needed a sentiment but didn't want anything too big so Teeny Tiny Wishes to the rescue. Even thought it is retired, it is a set, I will not get rid of. If you missed getting it, in the new catalogue there is its replacement Itty Bitty Greetings I tied a Linen thread bow using four strands for volume and attached with a glue dot.
Happy Stamping,
