This is for LSC127 to create our own bg with sentiments. I sat pouring over my stamps drawers and this set just popped out at me. I love the sentiment *Frogs & Snails & Puppy-dog Tails* and thought it would darling as a background for this little boy and his puppies.
I stamped the little and sketched the fence and tree. I added the sidewalk by brushing a dry brush over basic gray ink and brushing on the paper at his feet. I used my pen to add a couple of lines in the sidewalk. I used a small mini dauber and applied olive in between the slats of the fence then sponged on the grassy area at his feet. I used my minis fern stamp to create the leaves and grassy texcture. The images were all painted with a watercolor brush and reinkers.

Your attention to detail is marvelous---love the dirt on his knees and the box of puppies! Your coloring and shading is spectacular, as always. So very cute!
Another WONDERFUL card, Kittie!
When you use reinkers to watercolor, do you put a drop of ink on a plastic palette and then use regular watercolor brushes to paint with?
What kind of pen do you use to sketch the details?
You may have answered these questions in the past, but I am "new"
to your gallery. :-)
Thanks!
