Hi everyone. I'm back with a watercoloured card using a new stamp (Chirping - Penny Black).
I stamped the image onto Tan Mixed Media Paper in Ranger Archival ink Coffee. I used Distress Inks: Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wildnerness, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain, Ground Espresso, Rusty Hinge, and Black Soot to watercolour the image. I stamped a simple sentiment (Banner Sentiments - Penny Black) in more of the Coffee Archival Ink.
Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Optional: Masculine. :)
And I'm also entering into NBUS Challenge #51 (never-before-used-schtuff). I just bought this and I'm so happy I used it right away --- that doesn't happen often. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully watercoloured with some great colours Loll, and I love the tan mixed media paper which is the perfect colour...just that bit paler than kraft card so doesn't change the look of the colours. x
