Bell of Peace

This is Bell of Peace, and the first time I have inked up this new image.

To do this and using my Misti for this process, I coloured my stamp in stages with the base colours I wanted to use and dry stamped my paper starting with the leaves and berries. The purpose was to get the outline, but I did not want water added to the stamp as I wanted to watercolour as I went, which I did using different colours adding layers as I went. Once I was finished with the leaves and berries, I did the bell the same way. When all was dry I did the wash background by mixing up Blueprint Sketch and Peeled Paint distress inks. I added the acrylic paint and Winsor Newton Sepia flicks of paint once dry, then stamped my sentiment using intense black ink. I attached my panel to my card base using foam tape, and finished with a few clear sequins. 

I am very happy with the outcome, and enjoyed painting this image.

Thank you for visiting today.
