Architecture

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  We Can See Clearly Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

It's been wonderful having Natasha with us this month as our guest designer!  Your projects were amazing, and I am definitely looking forward to more. 

This week the challenge is: ARCHITECTURE/BUILDING

I decided for this week's challenge to focus on architecture that defines the area I live in. I am on the border of the Adirondack Mountains, and there are lots of lovely cabins scattered throughout the area. I thought I would try my hand at sketching a little cabin, and adding a couple of Adirondack chairs. (I love mine!) 

I began by sketching a little cabin with pencil, then went over it with a fine black Sharpie. It's a bit wonky, and the perspective is off a bit, but I had fun sketching onto watercolor paper. 

I wanted to add more depth to the background paper, so stamped it with the Tim Holtz Bubbles stamp with Gathered Twig.

I used watercolor to color the cabin.. I decided I needed a tree to, so made a quick doodle sketch and added watercolor. 

Two Adirondack chairs  are the final touch to my cozy cabin. I used paper from my stash to make the chairs.
