In the pond

Good morning blogland,

Today I'm sharing a digi from one of Mays' All Dressed Up Stamps New Release images.

I was given Water Lily to play with and this is what I came up with.  The sentiment is actually a happy accident, I'd stamped it straight onto the scene I'd just coloured and the damn thing didn't stamp clearly! Luckily I've taken to using a stamping platform, rather than a good old fashioned acrylic block, and so I could lift and re-stamp.  Even then though the paper I'd created my scene on had moved a fraction, and so when it re-stamped I made a little shadow effect.  Initially I thought 'ruined', but, no, I re-stamped again and made the new impression as dark and bold as I could, and I ended up with this shadow effect.  Rather good I think, for something that started as a mistake!

All Dressed Up - Water Lily

coloured with my Copics

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll be back when I can.
