Acrylic ink watercolours

I've been out buying more Liquitex acrylic inks. This time the transparent set which has Burnt umber, Burnt Sienna and Raw Sienna.  OMG I love these colours especially with a touch of black.
I watercoloured the background and used the dropper to create squiggles. I outlined some of the stamps with a white gel pen to add some highlights and added a a music die cut.
Again my inspiration has come from Red Queen Art Creation, Eleanor's artistic creation are stunning.

OMG...Absolutely Gorgeous earth tones with your acrylic paints. Loved your swirls and stamped images and a bit of white gel pen outlining. Truly a work of art, my friend. I loved now your musical note flows along with your painting. TFS Hugs..
