2nd in a series of joint posts with Jill Foster... all stamps by Penny Black. I stamped the image in Versafine Toffee, then used watercolor pencils to color (mostly Faber Castell and a few Derwents), blending with a waterbrush. I used a blender pen on the hair and finer details.
My husband said the image and coloring reminded him of a vintage book illustration - I am treasuring that comment in my heart...
