This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

It took me a little while to come up with what I wanted, but once I got going it just all seemed to come together quite quickly. I am really loving this one.
I really like how you can shape Photopolymer stamps to fit a punched out shape, it really makes them even more versatile.

Welcome from Leah’s blog.

This week we have a Watercolour Theme Challenge.

I decided to go Clean and Simple this week with a plain white background.

I really think I needed to wait for the watercoloring to dry thoroughly before I took the photo though. It doesn't really have those brown looking blobs on it anymore and looks much better in real life.
