Sketch and Stash have a great sketch to follow this fortnight. My 'new' is my Alota Angels stamp. I purchased this some while ago (mainly for this coming year's Christmas cards). Having said that - it was my intention to make one Christmas card per week this year.
Total for January - 0, total for February - 1, and here it is! I coloured the image with watercolours - I didn't find it particularly easy to colour, but never do the first time.
IRL all the purples are the same tone, once my camera has been at them, they all look different, even under a daylight lamp. I struggle to photgraph both purples and reds. Does anyone else have this problem?
