I stamped in Archival Black ink and then watercoloured with my zigs. I really enjoy this type of watercolouring. :)
I added a sentiment banner at the bottom, stamped in green to match the leaves on the image.
Here's a close-up ...

Oh Loll...had to laugh when I saw your comment about having to have this stamp set after seeing Hannelie's card, as it has been sitting in my cart for a few weeks now while I make up my mind about whether I NEED it or not after seeing Hannelie's beautiful card! Yours turned out just as lovely using the Zigs...so bright and colorful and just delightful! Love it!! :0)
Beautiful brightly coloured card Loll. So 'springy'. Gorgeous stamp and Hannelie's card is beautiful too.
This is so adorable, Loll. Love your little scene and so pretty colored with your Zigs.
The first thing that struck me when I saw this card is the absolutely gorgeous shading on it. That stamp is just so fun and whimsical! After seeing yours, it's now on my wish list! You really have mastered those Zigs.
So springy and delightful, Loll. Wonderful watercoloring. Love it!
Such a pretty!! Makes me really yearn for spring and summer. Love all the shading you added. Such wonderful inspiration.
Love this stamp with the sweet birds and birdhouses! And those flowers are beautiful! It is fun to color with the Zigs! It's makes a beautiful card too!
Just can't beat a combination of a lovely PB image and your wonderful watercoloring skills. This pretty looks very spring like and has such an 'airy' feel with the bright colors and all the white space. TFS
Your zig watercolouring is so beautiful, Loll! Your garden looks cheerful, bright, airy and springy! I love the bottom sentiment banner too. The edge-to-edge banner is a fresh idea and the matching green sentiment color is nice! Hideko xx
beautiful watercolouring and amazing shading. I can see why you wanted that stamp after seeing Hannelie's and now seeing your wonderful creation I'm sure it's on lots of whish lists and baskets waiting to be checked out.
I don't blame you for wanting to have that stamp after seeing Hannelie's card. It must be so much fun to colour (you did it beautifully).
Aww its so pretty Loll, colouring is beautiful! Almost expect to see a little fairy hiding among the flowers lol
what a sweet, beautifully colored card - very different from your usual style and I love it!
Hannelie's card made we drool for this too.. and now you added it to my must buy list. What a gorgeous card Loll.. I wish I could watercolour like you !
GORGEOUS!

Oh my goodness, this is so sweet! Perfect for spring. I really like how you watercolored this with your Zigs, Loll. Great color choices. You sure made the image shine! Thanks so much for sharing. :) Hugs!
Well darn, now I want that stamp too. Such a happy, colorful, wonderful card. Makes me think maybe spring will come at last. Beautiful coloring!
So very pretty and what a fabulous stamp. The colouring is beautiful and love the sentiment stamped in the green too x
I was just looking at this stamp this morning, Loll, and trying to decide whether to get it or not. It isn't on Amazon Prime so I let it go. You've made it look so cute with your Zigs.
Your card is so bright and cheery. It makes me feel happy just looking at it!!
Yes, I can see, why you "needed" this stamp! Just looking at that pretty scene puts one in a good mood! You colored it beautifully!
Now this is springtime on a card!! Life is better with Penny Black and Zigs!! : )
Once again, you should get a commission!! This is the PERFECT image for springtime and you have colored it so beautifully, Lolly! You will have captured sunshine and happiness inside an envelope when you mail this!! Hugs, Dolly
