Think Lovely Thoughts

The challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenge is Travelling.  I thought why not Peter and Wendy?  They certainly traveled a great distance to NeverLand. "Second Star to the right and straight on til Morning".

I used the Artistic Outpost Loverly London plate and the Artistic Outpost Neverland  to create a view over London with Peter and Wendy talking about flying as the levitate over the city.

The city was created by stamping the image multiple times and coloring with a touch of watercolor. Then I layered the images and pop dotted them to give additional depth. After that was done I trimmed them off to conform to the edge of the circle.

The main images were stamped using black archival ink and colored using watercolor pencil.  They were cut out and pop dotted onto the background.

We are just starting to wind down on the holiday festivities and getting in some fun family outings. Also sneaking in some stamping time with some good friends!

Have a lovely Tuesday!
