Housemartins

Hello there, I thought I would just check in and share some colouring I have done recently.  I had drop through the letterbox a gorgeous Claritystamp stamp from the stamp club - a Housemartin.  I really like bird stamps,  but I do get put off using them as my colouring is not that good.  However, I decided to have a play, prior to making a card.  Here are the results:  The stamps on the left uses Spectrum Noir pens, and the one on the bottom right uses Stampin Up marker pens watered down on watercolour paper.

The top bird stamp uses watercolour pencils.  I stamped the stamp in grey archival ink this time.

Which one do you prefer?  And if you have any suggestions to make, regarding colours, that would be great. Lynn x
