Happy Little Stamper Sketch

I loved the colorful sketch for the Happy Little Stamper May challenge.


I decided to do a little embossing and watercoloring.


I embossed the entire panel of watercolor paper in white using the MFT Chicken Wire background stamp.  Next I ran a wet brush over the top half and dropped in a variety of Distress Inks, letting some mix.  I cut it apart to mount it on white cardstock and didn't like it, so I decided to put the rest of the embossed panel on the bottom.  I covered the split with my sentiment from MFT.  Do you see my "mistake"?

Such a creative design Bobby! Love the mix of watercoloured hexagons. Great save with the banner sentiment ... works perfectly! This is a very cool background stamp. Hmmm ... might need to get myself one of these. :) Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers.

Embossing the chicken wire was a great idea! And I love that you filled so many of the hexies with color. Sweet, sweet card, and as far as I can see, there's no mistake here! Love this. Bev

Another flash of brilliance, Bobby! Your 'selectively' coloured embossed chicken wire is such fun! Love it!
