Living it

Hello fellow Crafters,

and happy Hump Day to you all. Our host today for the weekly challenge over at the Stampotique Designers' blog is the lovely and oh so talented Arwen. Did you know she has her own line of stamps in the Stampotique store. Why not check them out HERE. 

For her challenge this week she chose the theme "Spotlight" and this is what she said :

"Artwork consist of many small details that make a whole.
This week I would like to see spotlights in your work.
Lift a detail of your artwork especially visible out.

xx Arwen"

And although I might have not understood it properly,  I've decided to post mine anyway:

It is a page in my watercolour Moleskine journal. I started with stamping the lantern on the page and then used washi tape to mask off the part of the page where the light was going to be. I used Mustard Seed Distress ink and a blending tool to create the light. Next I masked off the light and I then used Broken China, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black soot to create a night sky. I used a white paint pen and put some dots down for the stars. Next I chased some pattern paper for the ground. I used some copic markers in different shades of brown to create the darker part, leaving the original colour for the light pool.
The monsters and the lantern were stamped again on white card stock with Memento. I marked the shadow line on the outside monsters and then coloured all the images with Copic Markers, clear embossed it all and then cut it all out. I went around the edges with a black marker to hide any imperfections in my cutting. After adhering everything to the page I took another Copic Marker and drew and coloured the shadows of the monsters. Lastly I stamped the sentiment and used my white marker to make it stand out a bit more.

Here is a list of all the stamps I used :
