STAMPlorations Stamp Release Week - Houses


It's Spotlight Week at STAMPlorations, and every day we'll be shining the spotlight on a fabulous set of stamps.


And we're starting off today with a set for The Bee's Knees range designed by moi: Houses


I've used the little cottage and given it a thatched roof.  I drew a fence, village green and pond with coloured markers, then scribbled over them with a 0.05 pen to define them.  I used one of the new ARTplorations stencils for the clouds.  Larkrise to Candleford, anyone?

ETA: the sentiment is from Sentiment Builders: Christmas & New Year

My teamies have created some fabulous cards with this set - I'm bursting with pride!  Not only that, but we have none other than Laura Bassen guesting designing for us.  With. My. Stamps.  Someone. Pinch. Me.

Go and check out what they've made, and leave comments at each blog for your chance to win.  Six (6) commenters randomly drawn from the Design Team's blogs will each win a $10 gift certificate, and one (1) commenter randomly drawn from the STAMPlorations blog will win a $30 gift certificate.  Get commenting!!

    I LOVE Larkrise to Candleford! I binge watched the whole thing! This definitely is reminiscent of that. Which sentiment set did you use for this? I think I might have to buy it. (or you should design a sentiment set to go along with your houses wink* wink*)

    Hey...these houses look like what I imagine the old English countryside houses might have looked....several years ago! Cool multi-colored doors!

    Amazed at what you 'scribbled' up....the fence and pond are awesome!
