Use Your Favorite Technique - Final Week

This is our final week of the "Use Your Favorite Technique" challenge.  Please be sure to check our rules before posting your wonderful creation.

In scenic stamping we often use specialized techniques to create our wonderful views of the world such as using a brayer to lay down color, starting with a photograph and adding stamped images, using a digi scene to build from, using glossy paper and a stylist, using chalk, and many more.  I am sure you all have your own favorite techniques and we want you to share them with us.  Please only link completed "scenes" and be sure to include an explanation of your technique in your blog post.

Emma Writes - My name is Emma and I am a complete craft

addict living on the South Coast of England with my son and recently a new puppy! I have been crafting ever since I can remember but really got into it 8 years ago after the birth of my son and becoming a stay at home mum. Stamping is my passion, but I enjoy all types of cardmaking and papercraft. I love the vintage look and old ephemera too. 

I am so excited to be the Guest DT member this month, although the work on here far surpasses my own! 

Next is our wonderful design team member - Rachel with another beauty made for your inspiration.

Craft a Scene - Make Your Own Theme - Week 2

This our second week of the "Make your own theme" and it looks like it is going well.  I have checked out all the participants and everyone is sharing with us what their theme is so that means you all understood the challenge. Ya!

I have the joy of introducing to you our guest designer for January, an avid crafter and beautiful scene maker - Claire, who has been enjoying and entering our challenges from the beginning.

I'm Claire from a quiet corner of north east England where I live with my son, two dogs and a very cheeky parrot. I work full time for a mental health charity and stamping is my escape from the stresses of work. I've been stamping for about 8 years and if I'm not at work or out with my dogs you will usually find me in my craft room. I don't have a particular style of craft, I love everything from cute to vintage.

I'm so excited to be guest designer for Craft a Scene, its always one of my favourite challenge as I love to start with a blank sheet of card and create a scene using ink and stamps. Claire's blog is Crlair's Craty Creations.

I've gone for a 'Sea and Sand' theme.

Here is what our wonderful design team has made for your inspiration.

Craft a Scene - Make Your Own Theme

Welcome to a new year here at Craft a Scene.  At Craft a Scene will strive to bring you interesting challenges to encourage you to breakout your scenic stamps and create your art with a landscape. 

This is the beginning of our third year and I think it is time for little adjustments to keep it running smoothly.  As you know, we have had a variety of sponsors and many months with no sponsor but just a random scenic stamp from my local stores.  Many of you have commented that the winner's prize isn't necessary as you want to make the scenes for the fun of it, not just because there is a prize. So, we will become a challenge for the joy of making scenes and continue the Top 3 reveal.

I am very excited to announce that the whole design team will be continuing into the new year. This is a very talented group who produce amazing scenic art using stamps, digis and sometimes their own drawings.

Now on to our theme - this first month of 2014 our theme will be "Make your own theme!"  This should not be confused with the typical "anything goes" challenges.  When you make your own theme you need to tell us what theme you have chosen.  Only those who include an explanation of their chosen theme will be included in the Top 3 picks.

Here is what our wonderful design team has made for your inspiration.

Anna-Karin - Layers of Ink

Anna_Karin likes to make scenes on her scrapbook pages.

Dora - Dora's Craft Corner

Dora likes to add her own drawing to the stamped images.

Pia - Pippins Stampscapes

Pia used designer paper as her base for the scene.

Rachel - Fisher's Cards and Crafts

Rachel made an under the sea scene.

Maggie - Silver Crafter
