Two Pussy Cats
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: helekins

 A large AALL & Create Kitty image. Stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturn ink. Made sure the ink pad was very juicy and the image stamped well first time. Swiped some Distress Inks on a glass mat and used lots of water to dilute the colours. Using Distress Inks to colour is a good idea I picked up by watching some Andy Skinner videos. If you go out of the lines with your colouring the distress inks don’t tend to dull the black image like they do when using watercolour pencils. Added some Wink of Stella to the moon and used the remaining inks to softly colour the background and around the Kitties.

Hope you enjoy.
