An Age of Steam

I took my journals away again in the caravan and some new Sheena Douglas Stamps.

I loved this image of the Station, I think it will be very useful for cards for the men in my family.

This page has a distress stained background and is random stamped, with a bit of masking in the corner. 

The colouring is water colours. I  lengthened  the track and the platform   a little with a fine black pen..

Here is another version using the same stamp sets

This journal pad has watercolour quality  paper, it gives a lot softer look to the image. 

Not so crisp stamping. But it also means a lot more water could be used on the  background, without damaging the surface. I added the surrounding masking after the colouring of the image and in case you wonder it was Vintage Photo Distress ink  [an ink that I would not be without] for the masks. 

We are now back home  and  to finish off this last trip, we did have our share of wet and rain this past couple of days. The wellies did have an outing and a tramp through the mud.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look, the comments you leave are always appreciated. 

I hope to catch up with you all soon.
