I made this card for our monthly card exchange for the Teapotters. The theme is "wind" for March. It's also for N for Nebraska, round 20 Alphabet Challenge.
I haven't used my Art Impression stamps for a long time, so I decided to pull them out for this card. I'm not real happy with the result. I haven't done this technique for quite awhile: coloring on the stamps with Tom Bow markers, then, stamping on card stock, and then, using a small watercolor brush to spread the ink on the white card stock.
I got carried away with more and more color and adding more and more tiny stamps to the card stock...a barn, a house, flowers, grass, clouds, birds, cows, fences, and "the windmill" which was the image that I started with. I have to remember that "less is more."

Oh, I love this farm scene and all the stamps you used are just perfect. Each stamp made it more realistic.

this is spectacular ! Those colors are so vibrant, and I love the grass around the objects.. Gorgeous sky. I haven't done this technique for years, but even when I did, mine never came out breathtaking like this one.

Creating a scene like this with lots of individual stamps is hard, and you did a fabulous job with it. There is so much detail, and this is how I envision a small farm looking.
