Hug in a Mug

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Julia McNeil Designs  Hug in  a Mug Collection.

To begin, I created a watercolour background using a light blue and two shades of pink Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints.

Whilst the background dried, I stamped the characters that I required, onto a separate piece of card, coloured them with watercolour pencils and white pen. Then I cut them out.

Now that the background was dry, I could stamp the  stars from the Iced Coffee stamp set using salty ocean distress oxide. 

I decided there needed to be more in the background, so I've used the evergreen berries stencil with worn lipstick and tumbled glass distress oxide to add more detail.

I then glued the characters to the page and added a sentiment from the Iced Coffee stamp set.
