Staedtler & Stampendous Hop


Hi there!  Today Stampendous has teamed up with STAEDTLER to bring you beautiful inspiration that is sure to lift your spirits!  

The card I have to share features Stampendous Air Scapes Perfectly Clear and Soaring Sentiments Perfectly Clear stamp sets.  I love that the Air Scapes set has three different "scenes" included.  I chose to use the castle setting.  What a fun bunch of images to color!  Before I stamped the images with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on watercolor paper, I lightly ran STAEDTLER Ergosoft Aquarelle watercolor pencils across my paper.  Then I blended the colors with a wet paintbrush.  I love the way the colors blended to make the sky.  After the paper dried completely, I stamped my images and colored them using the same pencils.  I thought something was still missing, so I added a few cloud with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.  I have to admit I LOVE THIS CARD!!!!  I don't know if I can give this one away!
