Setting up the scene works well when using a stamp positioner and an image sheet for each image and stake them; just make sure you wipe the underside of the sheet to avoid ink smears. After stamping the lighthouse with StazOn – Jet Black I blotted the area for the sentiment so it will be slightly lighter than the remainder of the image so the sentiment stands out.
The cattails were stamped three times using only a partial image for each stamping.
The pine branch was stamped with StazOn – Forest Green and I used a grey pencil to highlight the wood on the branch.
The last stamping is the three birds under the pine branch.
The image is colored with Gallery watercolor pencils making sure the area for the sentiment is much lighter than the remainder of the image.
To give the ground area texture I created grass blades with a straight pencil line creating an arch in some areas.
I used a Signo white gel pen to add foam to the waterÂ’s edge; just make dots.
The image panel is popped up with foam squares.
