Blue Knight - Coastal Pines

Fridays are special days - who doesn't love TGIF, right? But here on my blog Fridays are also special because they are the day I get to post as a design team member for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

I used the new Coastal Pines stamp set today.

You can check out the stamp set in the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps store - HERE.

Card #1

My first thought of how to use this stamp set was a totally black/white design. I like the way it keeps the focus on the silhouette of the Coastal Pines.

Card #2

This was my first attempt using Pan Pastels. Obviously there is a learning curve with them. I need lots and lots of practice, but I do love the way they easily fill an area with color.

I added a deer family on this card. It is from another Blue Knight stamp set - Buck, Doe, and Fawn.

The sentiment is from the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Shoreline stamp set - found HERE.

Pan Pastels can be found in the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps store - HERE.

Card #3

This card was so much fun to make. I used a sunburst stencil and pan pastels to create the sunshine in the background. It is big and bold, but since the Coastal Pines are stamped in black, they still get a lot of notice.

I think it's amazing to see how one stamp looks so different depending on how it's used.
