Sometimes you have to just “stop the world”, as I like to say, and stamp for fun, which is what I did when I made all these Waterfront Stamp Set Mountain and Island Scenery Cards. I may have overdone mine a little bit, but it was just fun to play. Actually, playing is the best thing to do with this stamp set, Waterfront. Stamp a little or stamp a lot. Stamp a couple more mountains, then maybe stamp a few more. Stamp more mountains off in the distance by stamping off. Stamp a mountain or two closer in the foreground. Add a stream. Add an ocean. Is there grass, or maybe sand and dirt. How about a little cabin? A few trees? Palm trees? Lots of trees? Just do whatever you want to do!
All but one of these cards are 4 1/4″ square cards made with Thick Whisper White Cardstock because I was planning to stamp directly on the card, not have a layer. This Waterfront Stamp Set has different watercolor-y looking shaped stamps that you can use to make shapes that look like mountains or sky or water or grass and more. You can try different colors of ink depending on the look you want for your mountains. For the mountains I used various combinations of Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, and Smoky Slate. For the water I used Pool Party and Dapper Denim. The sun was So Saffron and one was Crushed Curry. The green grass and trees were Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. The sky was stamped with Soft Sky, sometimes using an upside down mountain shape, sometimes the straighter grass shape and sometimes I experimented with other colors to make a sunset sky.
On one card, I decided to make mountains in the background and then an island in the ocean. I put a little cabin on the island with some palm trees. Just play with this stamp set and see what your imagination comes up with!
