Impression Obsession July Release Hop Day 2

Welcome back for another day of projects using brand new Impression Obsession stamps! All new stamps are available HERE! We are kicking off the month with a 2-day hop, showing off the new releases - today is day 2! Head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for the start of the hop so you don't miss anything!

I added some scene stamps this time - on this card I featured the left and right bank images - these are separate images, so you can position them wherever and however you like in relation to each other and to the edge of the paper. You can angle them for different looks, make them meet in the middle, or alternate them as I did for this little inlet. I did my stamping in green (I think this is Versafine Spanish Moss), added texture to the water with another new stamp, and then proceeded to shade with colored pencils and some brushed ink.

For a realistic look, I pulled some ink and pencil reflections into the water beneath each bank image, then added some lines around the base of each one with a white paint pen. Additional texture was added with a battery eraser, which lifted some of the ink in the water. The cloud stencil I used is here.
