Mackintosh Thanks

This month's CAS challenge at Happy Little Stampers is Friendship so I decided to use some of my Mackintosh stamps for the card as I love the Rennie Mackintosh style. I clear embossed the image before colouring it with watercolours - this makes it easier to paint as the embossing stops the paint from spreading. I liked the sheen created by the pearl colours although this does not show up very well in my photo.  I mounted the panel on black card and then fixed this to a linen card.

 
 
Materials used:-
Main stamp - from the "Decorative Roses" which was free with the Creative Stamping magazine (May issue 30)
Sentiment stamp - Chocolate Baroque "Mackintosh Sentiments"
Watercolours - Gansai Tambi watercolours and pearl colours
Versafine black onyx ink
 
Thanks for visiting my blog - I really appreciate your comments.  Margaret

    Really pretty and coloured beautifully. Love the font of the sentiment, echoes the Mackintosh style brilliantly. Thanks for playing at the HLS CAS Challenge.
