Hello Crafters! I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Even though Christmas is over it's still Winter and I don't know about where you are but in Cleveland that means we have to bundle up! I wanted to show you how you can get a little bit more out of your stamps by changing up their outfits really quickly and easily.
I started with two different girls from The Crew series just as they are drawn. I masked my images and added a simple distress ink background. A few spatters of shimmer spray and some clean water help break up the background. I Copic colored my images before stamping my sentiment.
I stamped the girls again but this time I decided to do a bit of a scene behind them. I used masking paper and distress inks again to create snowy hills in the background. This time before I started coloring the girls I switched up their outfits. I added a bit of stamping to the girl in the red dress and some sleeves to the girl in the green dress.
I didn't need to change anything to their "pants" outside of just coloring them to be jeans or leggings. Once the coloring was done I used a white and silver gel pen to add a few more details to their outfits.
You can see both cards from start to finish in the video below.
Like I said in the video I'm not in love with her huge necklace but it is what it is. Kind of reminds me of Flava Flav....anyone else? Anyway, it's not a good thing lol. I'm hoping to fix it when I finish the scene.
Speaking of finishing the scene I'll be doing that on my own blog. Which you can check out here.
I hope this gave you some ideas to get a little bit more out of the stamps you own.
Thank you guys so much for stopping by!
