Loved the pretty fall scene in this image from our inspiration site this week (IC513):https://www.pinterest.com/pin/25473554113483124/
I used the MISTI to help me make my own scene using this fabulous stamp. I would color on the stamp, part by part - with distress markers - spritz with water and then stamp. I would do that with a couple shades of each color (coloring in just a section of the area after my first inking), till I liked how it looked. Then I created a watercolor wash for the background and the grass, by coloring on the panel with distress marker and then painting with water and letting the ink spread to fill the space. Finally, I splattered diluted ink over the whole panel in a white, green, blue and red ink with a paintbrush. Stamped sentiment, matted and mounted. Really happy with how it turned out!

I'm wow'd by your coloring skills. It reads as if it took quite a while to stamp it. I'm taken back to when I lived in the country side of Jersey. I sure miss the greenery all around me. I live in Northern California now and I sure do miss all the trees and green grass. Thank you so playing with us this week at the Stamp Ink Paper challenge.
