Constellations

I have a couple more 'watercolour stamped' cards to share today...featuring a rather neglected Penny Black stamp called 'Constellations'. I inked up the stamp using Distress Inks (Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint & Forest Moss), then spritzed it with a little water, and stamped it on to some watercolour paper. There was still a little ink left on the stamp, so I refreshed it with a little more water, and stamped a second one. I stamped a Hero Arts 'Music' background stamp inked with 'Old Paper' Distress Ink over the top, and then blended some more of that same ink around the image. I distressed the edges a little, then added sentiments (from the 'Big Messages' set by Paula Pascual.


Here's a close-up of the first one:


And the card made with the second stamping:
