Lakeside Cove Scenes




Playing around again with large lakeside cove set from Stampscapes.

All scenes were created by starting with glossy white paper, stamping the components of the scenes with memento ink, and then brayering the different colors over the top.




If interested in ordering, I ordered directly from Stampscapes.com and the set was Lakeside Cove Large - Nature Unmounted sheet.


Sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Really Good Greetings set.



This is a CASE of one created by Kevin Nakagawa. Added word window punch and decorative brads.
