I do hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday and coping with your summer heat - here in Australia we are in the middle of winter and its rather chilly to say the least! At the moment the mercury is sitting at a mere 52.5F so please feel free to send some of your warmth to us!

Two complimentary colors of ink
Daubers

Detail Stamps

Stamp image with StazOn. Use daubers to create random circles of each color ink randomly over the image. Use the waterbrush to pick up colors from the watercolor crayons and color in the images. Lastly, pick up color from the black watercolor crayon (or dark brown) and splatter across image. Assemble as desired.

Have a blessed week & see you next week.
