Stampscapes - One scene, Two Techniques

           

Scene 1                                                                      Scene 2

I'm so excited to share that Kevin Nakagawa of Stampscapes made these two scenes I created into a Stampscapes Idea card!!

 

When I was at the Stampscapes Retreat, I was reminded by my stampin' sister Barb G of how much I enjoy Encausic painting. I have to admit, I go from one coloring tool/medium to the next and I truly enjoy each and every one!! :o) My favorite is the one I'm using at the time - it really is!!  I'm sharing one scene I created with two different coloring techniques.

Scene 1: Encaustic Wax Painting

1. Inked up Palm Cluster 100D with black ink pad and stamped onto glossy card stock.
2. Spread wax with iron, using palms as a guide to separate the sky and water. Using the wax, I created a little land mass way off in distance.
3. Inked up Seaside Cove sm. 308G with orange ink pad and stamped, lining it up with the bottom of the palms.  Inked up and stamped a second time. NOTE: when stamping over wax, the wax is slippery and acts similar to a resist, so you image will not be dark.
4. Inked up Solo Canoeist 159A with black ink pad and stamped. Used black marker to darken.
5. Inked up Gulls 302A with black ink pad and stamped. Used black marker to darken.
6. Inked up Frond #2 137C with black ink pad and stamped, Repeated several times around top of scene. Used a sponge to pick up black acrylic paint and apply onto 137C and stamped. Repeated several times around top of scene.

Scene 2: Tombow Dual Brush Pen Technique

1. Inked up Palm Cluster 100D with black ink pad and stamped onto card stock.
2. Scribbled yellow 025 marker on non-stick surface. Spritzed with water and swirled card stock through color. Note: leave some white areas. Wiped off non-stick surface before each new color.
3. Repeat for orange 925. Repeat for red 856.
4. Allow to dry. Can use heat tool to speed up drying process. 
5. Used water brush to pick up some red off non-stick surface and painted in a land mass.
6. Inked up Seaside Cove sm. 308G with orange ink pad and stamped, lining it up with the bottom of the palms.
7. Inked up Solo Canoeist 159A with black ink pad and stamped.
8. Inked up Gulls 302A with black ink pad and stamped.
9. Inked up Frond #2 137C with black ink pad and stamped, Repeated several times around top of scene.
