My last few posts have featured freehand coloured backgrounds. If you feel a little daunted at starting from scratch with a blank background, backdrop stamps are still a great option! Use them as a jumping off point, and add some small details of your own. That way you can easily stretch your background stamps to fit all sorts of occasions and scenes.

It’s that time of the week again. I’ve got my spotlight out and I’m shining it on another amazing stamp – this month’s “Stamp of the Month” offer. Each month a stamp (or stamp and the coordinating die where available) is offered with a fantastic discount. You’ve got until the end of 30th September 2020 to grab this month’s offer, and I’m here to show you why you need it. If you already have it, I’m here to remind you why you needed it, and inspire you to get it inky!

I had a little less time available, so I kept the scene smaller and simpler than Monday’s card. Hopefully it shows you how you can create an effective scene and tell a fun little story in a simple way. I find the Littles and Little Bits stamps great for this. The stamps are illustrated in a simple yet cute style, so there’s less pressure to create a detailed setting for them.
Stamps Used: Littles Playing in the Leaves, Celebrate & Congratulate Sentiment Set
The set I used comes with the girl in the leaves as a complete image, with three individual leaf stamps you can use to create falling leaves. If you would like more options for scene building, you can get the Little Bits Fall Fruit Collection set and Little Bits Nature Collection set, which you can use to mask and build the scene yourself.
As you can see, I chose to colour the girl’s hair brown. Reflex I think, when picking up the markers. I reach for the browns so often for hair, that I do it without thinking! To help her stand out against the tree, I went in with a white Luminance coloured pencil at the end to give her some strong highlights.
