I have what I call a pile of possibility in my workroom consisting of panels that could be made into something. The smaller ones are housed in a shoebox; there are watercolour backgrounds, stamped and coloured panels, alcohol ink panels and hand painted experiments. This panel has sat in the box for years unstamped but looking very much like a sunset. I can’t remember whether it was painted with watercolour paints or swiped with watercolour inks. I imagine the pale centre circle was dabbed out with a brush or paper towel but I really can’t be sure.
I stamped the Penny Black ‘meadow’ stamp on the panel with peeled paint archival ink then coloured inside the leaves with zig clean color real brush markers. I added spots and dots to the flowers and sky with gel pens, a white, a gold and a copper.
I stamped a sentiment from the PB ‘enjoy builder’ set on a left over strip. Hope you can take some time to do what makes you happy this weekend. Here are a couple of suggestions. (wink)

Very pretty
This stamp was meant for this beautiful background, Heather! It fits together perfectly!
Thanks so much, Bonnie.
It just goes to show that one should never throw away previously made backgrounds and eventually something beautiful will come out of them, and I think the wild flower stamp is just perfect. x
This one did wait quite a long time but I’m glad I kept it.
What a terrific way to use that spectacular background. I should really go through mine and try something like this beauty. I LOVE that stamp and how you used it.
So lovely. A June sunset with the palest of stars emerging. Gorgeous Heather.
Beautiful card, such a pretty background and awesome colouring of the small details, Cathy x
