New stamp and revisiting old background stamps:coloring with Spectrum Noirs, Zig clean brush pens, watercolor pencils. and freebies

A couple of weeks ago I made an internet impulse purchase. I was offered a 20% off coupon through Stamp Junkies group for Brutus Monroe Brand.  Bait cast and I was caught, plain and simple I hang my head, thankfully it was only 16.00.  If there was any redeeming value to the impulse purchase, it steered me back to my collection of beautiful background stamps. I took a good look at all the beautiful stamps I have and then I re-organized them. Beautiful backgrounds are one of the things I love in stamping.  I think I got sidetracked by all the great paper I use for backgrounds.  So while I was busy with the background stamps I decided to try using a few coloring techniques with my Angie Girl stamp.  That is what I am going to share with you today.  Here is the first card and details to follow


I created this sketch for my Monday CCM group Sketch challenge 


Here is the  New Monroe stamp, clouds - it is a very thick clear stamp



A few favorites I haven't used in a few years by Impression Obsession


Inked up with Distress Oxides - Yummy thick pigment color



With all of these stamps and backgrounds I used my Go to Paper; Heavenly Whites by Paper Temptress The 120# for the bases and 80# for the back ground and stamping


A few more

Second in pencil


Third Zig clean brush pens



Finished cards with backgrounds






 For this card project, I like the Zigs best and pencils least. So I think I'll sell the pencils and buy more stamps!  

Here are a couple of images for you to play with!



Thanks for stopping By!
