Elainebella here! Time for a little Stamp It Saturday fun with some of the newly released stamps.
When I decided that I wanted to create a scene card for the Spring 2018 release previews last week, I thought it would be fun to give you a little look at how the scene came together, and also show you the colouring process for the entire scene.
As soon as I saw the Mini Frenchies stamp set and the Garden Backdrop stamp I knew I needed to put them together on a card. As I was considering how to arrange and colour the images, I realised that I wanted a more complete scene – what lay behind the archway? While pondering, my gaze fell on the Summer Backdrop stamp and the decision was made! A little masking and stamping and I had a full scene to colour. I’m in love with how good the two backdrops look masked together to create a full background.
Those little frenchies…could they be any cuter? I don’t think so! We definitely need lots more dog and puppy stamps – make sure you let Emily know you agree!
The sentiment I stamped in the archway is one of the stamps that comes in the Danielle Donaldson onlyGretchen stamp set.
Watch me colour the complete scene in the video below or in HD over on YouTube.
Full Copic details are provided in the video.
Here’s a little peek at how the scene came together:
TOP TIP: I’ve mentioned it in previous posts, but I will say it again! Clear acetate sheets are your friend when building a scene or stamping a sentiment on a card. I have one dedicated to just this purpose that I store in my MISTI stamp tool, but you can also use the acetate storage sheets that come with your stamps. I used the sheet to help figure out where I wanted to place elements of my scene, and to make sure I had my stamps lined up straight in my MISTI before stamping. I use it every single time I stamp a sentiment, to make sure I get my sentiment where I want it and straight!

This is adorable! Thanks for sharing how you created this! ?
I love how you did that! I just learned how to mask from Jennifer McGuire and I love doing it. Before I learned how, I often wondered how it was done. I love all the colors and those puppies are the cutest thing ever! We need more puppy stamps, Em! How about some kitties too? I had an all white, fluffy, Maine Coon cat that was so cute!
Fabulous scene Elaine. Couldn’t agree more about the acetate sheets. I also keep one with my misti. It’s fab for lining any images up, stamping sentiments straight. I also use it to decide where to put sentiments…just stamping sentiment onto acetate and move it around till you find the perfect spot.
Hey Pip! Elaineabella here. Yes! I do that too. 🙂 SO useful.
