I wasn't sure how this color combo would work with this stamp set, but I think I like it :). Pumpkins don't always have to be orange, right? :)

I just can't enough of these House Mouse stamps lately. Used ones are all over EBay and I find myself searching for them. Some of the retired ones sell for $200!!!! Is anyone actually paying that? Um, not me!! I always watercolor my House Mouse images. This one I added a little shimmer watercolor gold to the popcorn that's popping. It's hard to see in the photo here.

I watched this video from Unity and its really easy to get this look. I first stamped my balloons in a very light black ink. I colored with watercolors, let dry and then I put my card back in my misty and went over it in white embossing ink to give it a softer feel. I have never mastered the "no-line" coloring look but this is much easier and it sort of reminds of that. I accidentally smudged my ink in 2 places so I hid them by using a few drops of Nuvo drops that matched my card. I do love this color combo.
