Today, I'm featuring the Shadows stamp set. I've wanted a stamp set like this forever and was ecstatic when Kim agreed to make one. The single shadows from Hot Concoctions and Vogue Abode are two of my most used stamps ever so I can assure you that the Shadows set is going to be well-loved! Not to worry, it's not just for shadows. ;)

There's a lot of watercolouring on my card today. I had so much fun with it. First, I stamped the ground using the longest shadow in the set. I did this in two colours to simulate grass and mud. Then I used some masking paper to bury the bones in the ground. I used Ranger markers and a watercolour brush to blend everything together.

I also coloured the cat and dog, from Nine Lives and Woofers & Tweeters, respectively, using the same technique. On my card, I also used a sentiment from Wicked Nauticool, which is being showcased by Karolyn and Laurie on this hop. Be sure to check it out!
