Whiff of Joy #44

Over on Whiff_of_Joy_Challenge they have a sketch challenge, but you must use a WOJ image.

I was eagerly awaiting delivery of my new WOJ stamps from Bizzy_Becs_Store and am pleased to say that they did arrive in time for me to have a play with this sketch. This was my first order with this online store and the service was very prompt and courteous. Goods were posted promptly and they were WELL packed ;-)

I must say, the stamps are a beautiful quality and it is the poor colouring in and poor choice of cardstock that let me down in this instance. ;-(

The cardstock I stamped on, is beautiful for stamping, heat embossing, dry embossing and colouring in with chalks, but if you are a bit heavy handed with the water when you are watercolouring (like me), then the cardstock suffers - it starts to break down, and the colours do not 'blend' well.

Since I have really taken to this style of stamping, I need to investigate the best cardstock to get for watercolouring.

I also purchased the Willow Bride stamp, and have coloured that one in, I just have to put it on a card. Will post a piccie when I get a chance.
