Audrey gave us a wonderful site with all the beautiful stamps from stampscapes. This is what I used for my inspiration....http://www.stampscapes.com/framegal.html
I don't have any of these,but they sure make beautiful cards. I tried something totally out of my comfort zone. After looking at Robin"s , Angie"s, Sabrina"s backgrounds they create, I gave it a try. This is what I saw from my window this morning. It is cold, but the sky was beautiful. Using the technique with ink pads and spritzing, did the background. Added the inked images. Then with my finger took acrylic paint to make the snow drifts. They are covered with a fine coating of topsoil from all the wind..hence that's why the shading is done in the brown.Added just a little glitter. This was fun, and yes I need to practice. tfl

Well, you have made a fabulous scene out of this little stamp that I would never have thought to use. But I may now. I need info on how you did that sky. It is beautiful and I love that you did all this on the newsprint DP.
