Hi crafty friends! Happy Monday! Hope you had a fun weekend I had a three day weekend since my kiddos had school off on Friday but a busy Saturday full of activities.
This week I had fun playing with Lawn Fawns adorable Village Shops stamp set.
One of my favorite things to do with a stamp set is coloring and fussy cutting the images out. So you might be able to guess what I did. I stamped all of the images (I missed one building not sure how) with Versa fine black ink. For these images I wanted to play with my Arteza Real Brush Pens so I stamped them all onto watercolor paper.
After they were all colored I fussy cut them out. I love coloring the buildings in bright colors that you would not expect to see on a building. Those ice cream trucks are so super adorable. This stamp set has so many ways it can be used I have one card to share today but I see making lots of cards with all the extra pieces I cut out.
For my card today I die cut a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" stitched rectangle out of pattern paper then adhered a small rectangle stitched die cut rectangle with rounded edges on top of that. The next layer I die cut an oval with blue paper for the sky and green for the grass. I adhered my elements with foam tape. Stamped a couple clouds in the sky stamping the second one with out re-inking so it was a little bit lighter. Lastly I stamped the sentiment and adhered the whole panel to a top folding 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base.
Thanks for stopping by today hope you have a great week!
