Did you cadge any of the Feb release at Stamp Anniething??? It seemed to start to sell out so quickly, BUT you can still get the Marty stamp and I think it was my fav! I thought I would try out a really ancient crafty technique and do some spotlight colouring (Thank you Sue Hastead for telling me what it was called, many moons ago!)
Here he is in the shop –
I’m never sure if it looks a bit…..like I was too lazy to colour it properly? lol! I had a go with Kendal Manilla Buff and the Faber Castell Sketch Pad paper, then adding some background, and colouring just the stamp! Obvs you can print out your topper and use perhaps some circle dies to add the spotlights! I fiddled about further to have lighter lines in the spotlight areas.
I popped online to get some refence photos to help inspire the colouring. I was aiming for the Future Set to be behind Marty on the Kendall Manilla version! It was quite hard to get a good likeness for the colour of his quilted jacket, it seemed to be “inbetween” colours, lol.
Thanks for joining me today for a spot of experimentation! Tell me what you think of the look? Shall I make them into cards, or pop them in my sketch album?
