IC455 - Purple Life

Photo Details

Poster: nwilliams6

Love, love, love the Inspiration Site today - it is a good thing I have a bunch to do today or I would stamp all day. Made this by dipping my stamp in ink and then in water - kind of backwards but it works for me. Then I stamped it in ink in again when the bottom layer was dry.

Used this as inspiration:

Aha! We used the same inspiration piece, Nancy -- and had two entirely different results (most probably because I didn't watercolor -- a technique I have yet to accomplish well). Your lilacs look just lovely!
