Boy in a tub boat

I've had this cute stamp from Viva Las Vegas for at least 6 months and this is the first time I've inked it up, I have so many stamps that need a little ink 😏
I stamped the image of the boy in the tub then masked it, I used the Penny Black  script stamp for the background and then watercoloured the image and the background.


I'm entering this for the following challenges

CAS Watercolour June challenge "Summer"

The script behind that fantastic image really looks wonderful! Love your watercoloring too. I always manage to color the whole card when trying to do a light wash but you did so perfectly! Love that stamp!
