This shy little clown is a NEW CLEAR STAMP from KLM! Flower Pot Fred, named for the flower pot on his head, how cute! I chose to use primary colors on him and make his shirt striped to match the papers I used. He is a pretty large image, so filled up the card nicely. I just didn't have any room left for any of the sentiments, but I like that this card can be for any occasion without a sentiment.
I didn't want to add too much to him, just some buttons.
I colored him with Tombow markers and a waterbrush, and he was printed on watercolor paper. I watercolored all the areas EXCEPT the shirt, I did the shirt LAST, so that I wouldn't have to worry about using the waterrush around the shirt and possibly touching over it and making it bleed. (I have seen the posts elsewhere about how to emboss printed images, but frankly, I do not have the resources I would need at hand in order to achieve that, BUT if you could do that, it helps reduce the bleeding of color between areas).
