Elk at Waterfall

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing my second scene of the month for Craft a Scene's June challenge, 'Forest Animals'.

Elk at waterfall - Layers of ink
I have run into elks quite a few times in the forest and when we children they were relatively frequent visitors to our residential area, eating apples in the garden among other things. This one is in its natural environment, taking a stroll beneath a little waterfall. All the stamping was done with Archival Jet Black ink on glossy cardstock. The scene was coloured with dye inks, using a Colorbox Stylus Tool, as usual starting with the lightest shades and gradually building up darker colours (see this tutorial). Highlights were added with a white gel pen and mist with white pigment ink.

Thank you for looking! I hope you will play along with us this week!

Happy Stamping!

  1. This is a gorgeous scene Anna-Karin, I love the elk stamp you've used. This is an animal that we haven't got here in the UK, and it must be lovely to see them in your garden.
