Hi Everyone, I couldn't resist making more of these here, with this stamp and making it with more natural colours of the sand mud buildings, (as I remember from my days in Saudi Arabia.)
I stamped the card, then using DI's, I coloured the rounded shape below each building with Speckled Egg, then different shades of yellow to do the buildings, trying to get more of a sandy colour, which in real life they do! I blame the dark rainy day for the picture quality! I added metallic pens to colour the manger images. I am into batch making at the moment, I thought I had already done more Christmas cards than I had, so batch making with a few, as my previous post and these. I think I still have about 30 more to make, so I may even do more batch making?
