Sweet Stamps- Dad

The Sweet Stamps Challenge this week is Dad.



 Oh this image screamed -Reflection to me.....!  After stamping the image in black, I added color by brayering and sponging on the blue inks. I added a touch of depth to the water with a White Paint Pen and white stitching around the border of the card.

Shea said...

Oh my word, this card is AMAZING. You say you brayered and sponged AFTER stamping the image? What a fabulous effect it gives. I never though about doing it that way. Love the way it looks like there's a slight mist rising from the water the way it would happen in real life. The paint pen and sewing were the perfect touch. Thank you so much for joining us at CI Paints this week!

Juliet A said...

Your brayering is spot-on, and you framed the image well too- your father will love this card!
