As I am experimenting with adding colour to the large background that I was working on yesterday, I started with one of the backgrounds which didn't quite stamp well enough. Having decided to use Archival ink and stamp using the mega mount as an acrylic block, I used one of the failed backgrounds as a starting point. I love distress ink pads as you can blend them really well with the small round blending tool and lift the colour using water if you need to. Here's my first attempt - you can see where the beetle didn't stamp properly, but I just wanted to try out colour placement. I used a water brush and kitchen towel to lift the colour from the shirt cuff, 'hello', the compass hands, balloon boat and around the key.
