Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Feeling Blue?

 The Impression Obsession team's challenge today is to create a project using the color blue. I chose this candle scene, and painted the entire image and the background, using 2 drops of Hydrus watercolor (Phthalo Blue) and just varying the amount of water to get different tints and shades.


Some of the smaller areas (berries, lines and dots on the ornaments) were masked using a Sakura clear glaze pen - these are great to have for masking tiny areas - the ink is waterproof and works for resist techniques.


When the watercolor was dry I used silver acrylic paint to add a few small highlights with a brush and small stylus. The sentiment I used is HERE.

  7. What is the name of the stamp you used, and where did it come from, and other details. This stamp is beautiful, but what's the point when you don't give me the information?
