original drawing
Digitally changed to sepia ..quite like this as the stamped faces look ghostly!
I seem to be addicted to my sketchbook at the moment wanting to try out new ideas. I think it is because it is so cold here that I cant really get into my craft room plus of course my sons are off with the school being closed because of the snow! I find a small sketchbook is ideal to quickly do a sketch in then add to it later in the middle of doing the dinner, housework, looking after the kids needs etc etc.
Here I wanted to combine sketching with stamps. I sketched a face using pencils then quickly painted the background with watercolours. I then added some stamped images of faces and the word art. I painted over these slightly with white paint so that they blended into the page and I am quite pleased with the effect. The challenge over at Sunday Stampers is faces so I reckon this qualifies...
