August Challenges


Mama Elephant Up and Away, Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals, Simon Says Stamp Happy Sentiments, Fresh Squeezed Stamps On Trend

A spot of watercolouring using Memento Luxe inks for the monkey and balloons and for the background colourwash over the masked clouds. The leafy stamped panel with a nod to Orla Kiely is something I've wanted to do for ages but am only getting round to it now. I bought the stamp set ages ago just to do this but never got round to it. Originally I thought my tag would go on the balloon strings but the proportions weren't right so I popped it directly on to one of the balloons. Lastly lots of Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.
