Rosehips for Spring

Happy lovely Thursday to you all!  For our Mother / Springtime themes this week at Topflight Stamps, I've got a pop of color for spring to share with you.  I got to play with the main image from PaperArtsy / Alison Bomber's Rosehip stamp set by using a watercoloring technique.  On watercolor paper I stamped the rosehips image with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  On a clear acrylic stamping block, I smeared some Lavinia Soft Cygnet dye ink and spritzed it with water.  I painted this on the whole panel (except the image) in several stages, to get deepening color in some areas.  Then I painted the image using a few hues of Distress dye inks, plus Lavinia Pixie Green and Truffle dye inks.  I used a couple other stamps from the Rosehips set:  a postage stamp (top right corner) and the sentiments (springtime / rise and put on your foliage), all of these stamped on a scrap piece of white cardstock and properly distressed to look aged.  On the top right and bottom left corners of the watercolor panel, I used the Versafine Onyx Black ink to stamp Chou & Flowers Brittany Text.
