TREASURE BOX



2013 is fast becoming the Year of Water Colouring for me.  I used (Watercolouring Pencils) Supra Color Soft Pencils to colour this gorgeous image from Elaine Cox called BESS.  

 BESS is also available as a plate of four rubber stamps - all of which are my all time favourite images from Elaine.  Stamps can be found here.




Originally I was going to make a box to house our telephone book and message pad but now I'm thinking maybe something a bit more girly!

 Hope you like it, more information can be found here on my blog.

Best wishes,

    This is just beautiful - I'm thrilled to see such a wonderful example of watercoloring with these stamps! I can't make the dollar commitment to Copics, so watercoloring is the best option for me, and I'm always looking for inspiration.
