Barbie Mate

When I saw this fun stamp from Sasayaki Glitter, I couldn't help but color him up. This one is called Barbie Mate. I have never colored a seahorse before so I had to look it up to see how their colors are. 

I started by using Copic markers to color the image. I then used distress ink to watercolor the background. Since I colored the background in after I finished the image, I didn't create a mask for it. I used watercolor brushes to paint the background with distress inks, then stamped the sentiment and popped the image onto the plaid paper using foam tape.
