In the harbour.

Last Sunday I went to the Stamperama craft show in Newbury.  There were only three stalls I really wanted to visit and one of them was the Stamp Addicts stand. I visited their website the night before and made a short list of stamps I would like to buy. Unfortunately they only had two of the stamps that were on my list. This stamp one is called "in the harbour"  and it's by Stamp addicts.

I also went looking for images of cards made using this stamp on the internet, I only found two samples, both of which were on display at the craft show and neither were my style. So I 've had to do my own thing with this stamp.

 I decided I wanted a moody sky on this first card, so I blended some yellow and grey ink into the sky area and also on the shore.

 I used Copic markers to colour the boats and the wall. 

For the rest of my samples I chose to do blue skies using torn paper and  blended blue ink to create the wispy clouds.

I used warm grey ink pads for the shore with subtle touches of green here and there , Which don't show up in this photo.  Again using Copic markers to colour the boats and wall.

 On this last card, I added some tree tops. This was because I somehow managed to get an inky mark in the sky so to cover the mark I stamped some trees. Hubby pointed out the trees were not straight, my reply....it's a windy day.
