I guess it's just the proportions of the image.I decided to go with the delicacy of the image by using inks as watercolours to give a soft and subtle look to the colouring. I'm a great reader of fiction, I really don't get on with biographies etc, and what is fiction but dreams, really?
This really doesn't take a lot of time or materials so I think it would make a nice little gift for things like teacher thank yous. You could even slip one inside a book you were giving as a gift to make it even more personal.

Joanne, this is so pretty and delicate.
Your colouring is beautiful and gives so much live to the stamp.
Hope you're keeping well.

Really beautiful :)
That's a super image Joanne. I really like what you've done with it.
This is really pretty Joanne, love it! XXX
Beautifully coloured image. This is a great idea, I am always using old tickets & bits of paper for bookmarks. The stitching makes it more robust somehow.
That is a beautiful stamp....
