Monkey see, monkey do: Medieval City

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello everyone, Liesbeth here. Here's another inspiration card for our Monkey See, Monkey do Challenge. Click HERE to read everything about it, and how to participate!



This time I have chosen repeat stamping using one stamp (Small Cityscape) I love this technique, it's so easy ...with a great effect! It looks like an old medieval city. 
This is how to do it: 
Use a dark blue water soluble ink.. I used Memento Luxe, but Distress ink also works. Without an acrylic block, stamp the city at the bottom of the card. Repeat the stamping, bend the stamp to stamp just smaller pieces of it. Don't re-ink the stamp every time, use the 2nd and 3rd and 4th print as well. Try to stamp lighter and lighter, it looks like the buildings are further away. Let the color run out here and there with a water brush. Paint a tiny bit of watered down brown Distress ink here and there. Sponge the edges with blue ink and finish with a text (I used Imagine Faith Destiny Inspiration)
I hope you understand...my English isn't perfect ;-) ...if not: please feel free to ask! 
See you next time!
