{Spotlight Project} Shirley Gets Snap-Happy With The Camera

I've been playing with the camera image from the February 2017 stamp club set, Hello You. I decided to repeat-stamp two panels, and then apply different colouring methods to each.

When I was stamping the left-hand panel, one of the images didn't stamp properly, and I thought it was because I hadn't re-inked the stamp well enough. But it was worse when I stamped the second panel, even though I'd taken more care with the inking up. When I'm stamping, I work on a pile of scrap paper, and when the top layer gets too dirty and inky I just remove it from the top of the pile and then I've got a clean surface. And this time, when I removed the top layer, there were a couple of sneaky die-cut numbers under the paper - no wonder my stamping was bad!

On one panel I watercoloured the cameras, and on the other panel I watercoloured the background and left the cameras uncoloured. Then I played around with the card bases before adhering, so that I could decide which combination looked better. (I drew in the missing lines with a black pen.)

Coloured cameras on black, coloured background on white?  Or...

Coloured background on black, coloured cameras on white?  I went for this second option.  Then it was just a case of adhering the panels to the card bases.

I decided not to add a sentiment to either card, I like the visual impact of them just as they are.
