I just had to use this Penny Black stamp again.  It is just so very gorgeous lol!  This time I used darker shades of ink to get a different look, a different sentiment and a 148mm square card to create a slightly different but same look.

I cut a piece of watercolour card to 148mm square.  I inked the fence, sand dunes and top of the reeds with Pinecone Versafine Clair ink and stamped.   I cleaned the stamp.  I inked the grasses and bottom of the reed stems with Rain Forest Versafine Clair and stamped.  I cleaned the stamped.  Finally I inked up the ocean with Twilight Versafine Clair  ink and stamped.

Using a Circle template I drew a sun with a yellow watercolour pencil.  I watercoloured the scene then dried it.   I added extra layers of watercolour where needed.  

I stamped the Hobby Art sentiment onto a snippet of card and edged with Pinecone Versafine Clair.   I dry embossed Sizzix Textured card with a Creative Expressions 3D embossing folder.   I trimmed the watercolour panel and embossed card.  I figured out my layout then adhered to a 148mm square card.  I added Tonic Nuvo Drops to the breaking surf and to embellish.  Back soon x
