The White Rabbit Stamp Company

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using the new stamps from The White Rabbit Stamp Company with watercolour paints, acrylic markers and watercolour pencils. 
To begin, I created a watercolour wash background using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Colors paints. I then splatted the blue part with plain water to give the effect of clouds in the sky. Leave to dry.
On seperate card I stamped the house, flowers and snails. I coloured these with a mix of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours, Polychromos pencils, Personal Impressions watercolour pencils and Uhuhu acrylic markers. I then cut them out.
When the background was dry, I stamped the trees and pathway onto the page. I coloured these with the watercolour pencils, polychromos pencils and acrylic markers.
Next, I glued the house, flowers and snails to the page. I added scribbled grass under the trees using acrylic markers and white highlights using a thin posca pen.
Finally I stamped one of the sentiments on to the page using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 
Products used:
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Pearl Cirs watercolour paints

Mushrooms

Hi everyone,  I really live mushrooms and when I saw TIMESTAMPS Creations new release, I just knew I had to combine them with Bee Crafty's mushrooms stamp set.
To begin I stamped two columns of the positive mushroom tile down a piece of craft card using portobello versafine clair ink. I then blended portobello ink around the edge of this strip.
Next I blended portobello ink around the three outer edges of my sketchbook page.
Next I glued the mushroom strip to the left hand edge of the page.
I then blended brushed corduroy distress oxide through Bee Crafty's metal work alpha inkable on to the right of the page.
Next I blended scorched timber distress oxide through the chevron texture disc from set 2 on to the page.
I stamped the circles border, from the mushroom stamp set around the edge of the page with portobello ink. 
Using the swirl stamp, from the mushrooms stamp set, with portobello ink, add to the corners and centre of the page.
On seperate card,  stamp two of each of the mushroom stamps with portobello ink. I coloured them in with Personal Impressions woodless watercolour pencils and posca pens, then cut them out.
Next I glued them to the page and added white pen work.
Finally I added two of the Autumn B Wordy sentiment stickers and added a white border and dots to them.
