I stamped the city scene three times and then the bridge.  I then watercoloured the sunset and water beneath the bridge.  Whilst the scene was drying I stamped the spectacles onto a snippet, I stamped the ladies then painted the sunset and left to dry.  On a further snippet I stampedthe sentiment and I added Nuvo Drops to finish.

Birthday #3, Peach Flowers

Another card for my Mum's birthday card stash and here it is . . .

 

 I created this card using another new Tina Cox KISS stamp sets, a Clarity Crafts A5 stencil, Tonic Studios Embellishment Mousse for the background & Nuvo Drops to embellish.  I used different colours of Spectrum Aqua pens to ink areas of the stamp then I sprayed the stamp with water and stamped with it.  I dried each colour before starting on the next colour.  Multi colour stamping this way is only possible because of my Tim Holtz Stamping platform, I love that tool!

An A5 birthday card

Such a fun image

After I stamped the Stamperia background with Versafine ink pad I coloured the white card with Clarity Crafts stencil brushes and three different shades of Distress inks.  I stamped Stamperia's Lord Vagabond and the Clarity Crafts sentiment onto  snippets of card.  I watercoloured the male then fussy cut him out.  I used Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Drops on his goggles and used several Mit Form metal cogs to finish.
