It is also my first creation in many months. I threw everything at it but had lots of fun. I did not realise how much I had missed creating.
The challenge is based on locations. I chose Amsterdam as my location.
We have visited Amsterdam a few times when visiting Europe. When I think of Amsterdam I always think of a photo I took of bicycles resting against a fence. In summer the fences have an abundant of baskets of flowers on them. Amsterdam also reminds me of tulips. I did not include a canal or the beautiful houses as my drawing and watercolouring skills are limited
I used several stamps, water and watercolouring and even a qtip to create my scene. The BG was stamped, clear embossed and sponged with 3 different inks.
Come and play in the Alpha challenges.
TFL. Happy New Year and happy creating
