 Today I followed a tutorial by Bonnie to create this cute little duck pond scene.

Art Impressions - Design Challenge - "Don't Fence Me In" Submission 2

 I absolutely love the little fence in the "He Leads Me" stamp set so I decided to incorporate it with a few other stamps sets to make this sweet little page for my art journal.

I don't have any small background tree stamps yet so it just looks like a rolling hill.

I used an ink blending brush to softly blend the ink around the lamp to imitate light.

All the stamps are from Art Impressions:

5129 He Leads Me

5119 Beach Boys

5066 Light To My Path

5373 Large Tree

4051 Foliage Set

5008 Flower Set 3

Art Impressions - Design Challenge: "Don't Fence Me In"

 Since this Design Challenge revolved around fences, I wanted to play around with some wooden texture. 

I wanted my project to look like it was painted on fence palings.

I wanted the texture of the fence to show through the painting without losing detail.

I used an old Stampin'Up embossing folder called Pinewood Plank. It is retired now.

I have mounted the painting onto cardstock using foam tape to add some dimension. I was also lucky enough to have some nail head brads in my stash for the wooden sentiment sign.

The stamp set I used is by Art Impressions:
