Wintry scenes simply stamped
Hello friends, thanks for dropping in during this busy time of year. I really appreciate it!
Today I have a selection of simple stamped cards to share, susing Penny Black and Inkilicious stamps. This one was inspired by the work of Jill Foster, who is one of Penny Black's designers and she does fantastic tutorial videos on youtube under the label PB & J.
The same stamp but using different colours, - I also added a couple of die cuts to this one.
Another Penny Black stamp, again with a few die cuts added to finish it off.
And here the last one, kept mostly in sepia ones again, using an Inkilicious stamp.
Well that's it for now, - hope your holiday preparations are going well. I am determined not to get stressed this year, which is a lot easier to do when you are retired.... :o)

Oh my goodness, they´re all soooooo beautiful as usual Astrid. You really know, how to put a smile on my face with your gorgeous work here. Stunning creations once again sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteHi Astrid! Your cards are gorgeous!! Such beautiful winter scenes and I so love the sepia tones. The stamps are so lovely and your colouring is stunning!! I must check out those videos too. Really, really love all of these! hugs xx
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... deep sigh of pleasure - these moon cards are my favourites so far, I think, especially with the trees. So atmospheric, beautifully stamped, and with that special glow which I always associate with your work.

They are so gorgeous, Astrid, so love the first one, with the snowy trees , so filled with quiet beauty. The next using more colors and same stamps, is just the daylight inviting to more details, and the two last ones are so very b eautiful, too. Love the birds stamp. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration, dear Astrid.

These are gorgeous Astrid, the trees are stunning and I love how you did the moons - such wonderful scenes and the pine cones are beautiful! Wonderfully inspiring cards. Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Astrid. The moons seem to give real life to the composition, love them. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Astrid, perfect for the Northern Hemisphere, where is snows and and has those trees. Love the big moon and your shading is impeccable. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis might just be my favorite set yet. So different, but incredibly beautiful. I have watched many a Jill Foster videos, but have never quite been able to replicate her techniques. I blame it on not having a MISTI, but who knows?! LOL! I truly love these!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful selection of cards Astrid, great stamps and beautiful colours.

How fabulous... I love these cards and scenes so much!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on Jill Foster's videos... I absolutely need to have a try on them too ( I think I quickly watched at least one of the videos you are speaking about, producing an amazing card, I remember my awe!) and your own samples really give me the desire to play with my inks and Penny black stamps tomorrow morning!!
Thank you Astrid. I'm here by chance, but such a beautiful walk tonight on your blog... :)
