Scenic Saturday with Amybella: Tiny Townie Rae in the Window

Hello friends!

Amy here with another Easter themed Scenic Saturday card to share here on the Blogabella. This time around I wanted to challenge myself to create an Easter card using stamps that are not designed with the holiday in mind. Stretching the uses for the stamps in my stash is always something I enjoy doing and this time around it was Tiny Townie Rae the Garden Helper who caught my eye.

Stamps Used:

Tiny Townie Rae the Garden Helper is holding a prize winning turnip or beet in the original image but I figured that if I had her peeking through the new Window stamp it would hide the bottom half of the root veggie, making it easy for me to color it into a bunch of carrots instead. So, I stamped the Window first and cut a mask that left the middle open. From there it was easy stamping Rae into the bottom corner. To separate the beet into a bunch of carrots I used a dark brown marker and sketched in a few lines running down the length. I then blended it out with the orange markers and added the little marks for texture. Once I had her holding the perfect bunch of carrots, I still needed to take this scene into an Easter themed direction, which led me to sketch in a tiny bunny off in the distance. With the bunny in place, I could then color the rest of the landscape in behind. The choice of pretty pastel colors in the room surrounding the Window, as well as the floral print I added to the curtains, also contribute to the Easter look that I was going for. Finishing off the card is another sentiment from the Easter Sentiment set, stamped in black on the lower part of the wall. I think I would categorize this as a successful holiday transformation of these non-Easter stamps.  🙂

Stay crafty my friends!
