Hey all! I am back today and again playing along with the MFT Sketch Challenges!

My Favorite Things Stamps - Delightful Dinosaurs - Jessie Banks.jpg

So I pulled out the Delightful Dinosaurs that was recently released, and I had to have because I need all things dinosaurs. Remember mother of a boy, when they are things that he is interested in I have to have them!

I created the background with my watercolour paints. Then coloured up the dino with my copic markers.

Copics used:
Teal – BG05, BG02, BG000
Red – R59, R29, R27, R05, R02

A Lil’ Magic

Posted in CLean and simple, The Greeting Farm, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey everyone! Jessie here today, sharing a fun little watercoloured card using A Lil’ Magic stamp set!

I stamped all my images and sentiment out with Versafine Onyx black ink then painted it up with my Daniel Smith watercolours. I love this splashy little scene, a super quick and soft card! It is always fun with watercolours how you can build up your shadows and intensity just by layering the same colour over itself.
