Hello,

I have been enjoying rubber stamp art for about 3 years.  I discovered Stampscapes about a year ago at the Cincinnati StampAway Convention.

 

Stamscapes are my favorite to "build" a picture with.  Kevin Nakagawa is the creator of the Stampscape stamps.  He has engineered the stamps in such a way that they blend together.  One might use 10-15 or more Stamps in a Stampscape picture to create a Landscape.  I use other assorted companies stamps to mix with the Stampscapes for points of interest. 

 

For inks, I use Stampin Up, Whispers, Distress, Colorbox, Seashells, StazOn and Brilliance.  My preferred applicators are the Stamps themselves and stipple brushes available at Barbras Rubber Room.  These Stipple brushes are excellent for picking up the ink and giving it back on the card stock usually taking fewer strokes than any other Stipple brushes that I have used.  I also enjoy twinkling H2O's which are watercolors with mica flakes added.  The color range is from pastel to vibrant with a luminescent reflective quality.

 

I also enjoy using the Sizzix die cut machine to make diecuts and there are many examples of these in the Sizzix album.  The little dolls are my favorite to dress and personalize for the occasion.

 

I hope that you get lots of ideas from my creations and have a great time stamping with them.
