Stamped gift tags

Isn't it great that there are so many beautiful colouring books for adults now? I have always preferred to colour in rather than create the actual drawing. Seeing them everywhere made me decide it was a great time to pull out my stamps and restock my supply of gift tags.

This time I chose to use my watercolour pencils for colouring in, once it is fully dry I use a gel ink pen to redo the outline

Because I used recycled cards I dipped the pencils directly into the water so the colour would show up better. You can blend with a wet paintbrush but I still tend to use a wet pencil for blending.
