I won a couple of sets of stamps from Innovative Stamp Creations several years ago; and, when I saw this beautiful scene, I knew I had the exact stamp I needed to try to recreate it. I masked off the top and sponged on the green (I live in Florida -- no snow here!). Then I masked off the forest floor and sponged the sky with four different inks to create the sunset.

Gorgeous! First of all, I love the stamp! Second, your sponging an design are gorgeous! I have the same question- did you add the shadows or are the part of the stamp?

To answer the question about the shadows -- I used a Copic W1 marker to make the shadows. I originally tried the Reflection Technique, but the trees were at different levels so it didn't work well.
