SDC 158 - Black,White & A POP of colour

Hi everyone
A fabulous theme over at Stampotique Designers Challenge this week which has been chosen by the lovely Kay. Kay has challenged us to make something black and white but must include a POP! of colour. Many of you will know that I am an avid participent of this weekly challenge but have been missing from it from the last few weeks, Gasp!! have to put a stop to that, so I'm back playing along.

 
I have used Strathmore mixed media paper for my work for the first time and I cannot recommend this paper enough it is so smooth and takes loads of water without warping the paper, love it.
Background for the water effect I have water coloured using black soot distress ink.
Images are designed by Daniel Torrente
and I have used:- Smumanha
 
and
Smushallaum
 
 
Both have been coloured using Spectrum Noir Pencils
Sentiment is from Tim Holtz - "Way With Words" set 
and finally a touch of torn washi tape.
Thanks Kay for a great challenge theme this week.
Thanks for visiting and see you soon
Love
AmandaX
