I had bought a stamp set with many cool scenes in London years ago - intending to make a scrapbook of the pictures I have of London....but I didn't use the stamp set until today! (That's what I love about the inspiration challenges - they always get me to pull out old stamps.)
Technique? All I did was rub a few markers over the stamp, while trying to stick to the underlying color palette of my inspiration (replacing blues with red for heat!). Then I misted the stamp with Glimmer Mist and rubbed the image into a piece of watercolor paper. Finally I took my aqua painter and a bit of marina mist to scribble some cloudy skies above it all.....magically the rain drops fell all on their own accord! What fun!
Enjoy!

What a cool result you achieved, love all those colors. I knew exactly which photo inspired you, well done. I definitely see a need to buy a building stamp now.

WOW! The colors are gorgeous and such a great take on the inspiration piece. No doubt about it - the challenges really push us to be more creative and use neglected supplies.
