WS: Trees
I made this page for this week's Wednesday Stamper theme "Trees". I carved the center stamp myself and then made the rest of the 10x7" page with acrylic paint and a spray painted stencil (also hand cut). I am really enjoying making my own "tools" these days. I like that my pages will get a more unique feel and not to mention the money I'll save in the long run. (Ha..right...keep buying paint!) Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend full of art!
Julie I really like your tree stamp! Great page!

Home-made stencil and home-made stamp on one project. A 2fer? This is so pleasing.

Your are in the groove. I like that I can barely see some ephemera peeking through and the way you are applying the paint is gorgeous, right up my alley. Branching out 'no pun' intended.
Hope you have a great weekend!
