A fancy Victorian wall tile design, this time by the interior designer Richardson. Looks good as a single motif, but should pattern up nicely.

Colouring Clematis

Posted on 9th March 2011 by Neil

Clematis ‘Carnival’, ‘Oh la la’ and ‘Nelly Moser’

My evening project – finishing off these beauties. One stamp design, three different colour-ways using Letraset ProMarkers to colour. Image is stamped in Tsukineko’s Memento Tuxedo Black, and I use Ryman’s Bright White coated card. Colour reference came from photos of clematis on a quick Google image search. Each took around 30-40 minutes to colour. Not sure yet how to mount these to make greetings cards, but I’ll be sure to share in due course. The stamp is from Circa Design (XM-IM-49 POINT) and was sold as a second for a bargain £1 at a craft fair, though I can’t see any blemishes. Confusingly they list it under Christmas as an image of poinsettia…
