Off to Paris Again

Off to Paris Again

I’ve been playing with this stamp again. This time I did it in brighter colors and tried to make the flowers standout a little more. I think I was also able to add a little more dimension. In person you really notice the dimension where the ground ends and the wall begins. The photo didn’t turn out that great – a little blurry – but I didn’t feel like getting up and taking it again. hehe

I used a combination of water color paints and pencils. This is definitely my favorite stamp. It is very time consuming to paint.

This one is also for the Stamps and Smiles challenges. I followed the sketch for challenge three.

Blessings,

Christine
