Thinking of you herbs

 and that whole dig out an old stamp and see what happens continues...

So this round of that game was started with this row of potted herbs from Stampin' Up! Sweet herbs set stamped with some versafine sand dune ink on cold press watercolor paper. I was hoping it would give me enough of a guide to paint and not be so in your face that it could go "no line" look at the end.

 

So this morning before work I added in some greens. I did not try to make them real but, I did try to do pots next to each other not the same shade of green.

And when I came home I started adding some shading and a little more greens and browns and such and when the paint was dry on the name signs I did go over the top of those with a brown fine liner pen.

 

The edges of all the cut papers were inked with some DOX bundled sage ink. That sentiment ( Hero Arts ) was stamped on a scrap of Neenah earthstone and also inked. the green scrap under it was run through the cuttlebug gingham folder when I was playing with that the other day and this was the trial piece I had that I used in the folder before I used it on the piece that went on the other card to see if the scale of the squares would work. ( I cut this scrap piece into strips yesterday) thinking to use them on the watering can card but, I realized it was already "not clean" or much on the simple side so I let it sit. The printed paper under that is from the Prima Nature garden pad and the base here is some Neenah classic cream. This is A6 in real life and I am liking how the paints dried so, this is tempting to pull out some other old stamp and see what happens. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping by.
