This is my first work with some Alexstamping stamps I got on Ebay. I've taken forever to mount them but like them a lot. They're even crisper and more realistic/modern than the Stampscapes stamps but will work well together once I get the hand of them. As I learned later in the day from reading Zindorf's tutorial, be sure you measure your horizon evenly or you end up with a slanted world like you see here (everything slopes to the right). Lesson learned.
I used a water stamp, trees, grasses and a grass type filler along with a stampscapes cloud stamp and a stampin up circle for the sun. The gees and boat and fence are also Alexstamping and the horse stamp says Sutter Exterprise E2213 (an ebay purchase).
I started with the fence, then added the slanted water, masked the water and stamped the sun, added the stampscapes clouds, then did the grass area, put in the weeds up front, added the trees, horse, boat and geese. I mounted it on certainly celery. Also, I think the fence may be upside down, but not sure. Alexstamping.com has lots of their stamps in their card gallery. I haven't invested yet, but they have the most realistic skies I've ever seen.

Wow! I love your scene! And, if you were in Monterey, Ca. it would look exactly like this! Wonderful job with the color and scenery. TSMFS
