for today’s featured stamper challenge – Kelly_H.
Her card was originally for an inspiration challenge and so after I made my original card I let her card inspire me even further.
This card came about because the colours in KellyÂ’s card inspired a dreamy feeling in me and I decided to use this horse stamp by After Midnight Art Stamps. Rather than just painting in the watercolour background I wanted there to be something more there so I masked off the foreground horse, moon and stars and then used Spiral Border (Hero Arts) and coloured on it with my Tombow makers one colour at a time and stamped each colour repeatedly around and over the main image. I then used a watercolour brush and blurred those BG images and helped them bleed together. I added a little blue and black around the edges and handwrote my sentiment (this time I spelled correctly I think). I mounted it on black and then white.
I really like how this card turned out and truly enjoyed making it. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Thanks again Kelly for such wonderful inspiration.

This is so beautiful. You've really captured that 'dreamy' essence and feeling in this card. Even before looking at the title of the card and just seeing the thumbnail, it conveyed that feeling. I love it love it!
