On the Lookout

Hi everyone.  Today I pulled out my Zig Watercolour markers.  Haven't used them for quite a while.  This is a NBUS stamp set that I've had for a while ... happy to be inking it up! :)

Stamped the image and sentiment in Obsidian Black Pigment ink (Altenew) and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with my markers.  I tried to paint the pup the same colours as Jessie (she definitely has more white on her).

Close-up ...
Sending this card over to April Rudolph Days - Anything Christmas Goes.

And also sending over to NBUS Challenge #49 ---- first time inking up this image. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

    What a fun image and love your watercolouring, and with a nod to sweet Jessie's pretty colouring. I also love that cute rat sat on the back of the chair. I'm not so sure I would be so keen to see one in real life sat on the chair looking out of my window..lol. x

    Oh, gosh, this is cute! I recognized the resemblance to Jessie right off the bat. Such sweetness! I have a picture of Wally just like this... but he was looking at a deer through the window. Hmmmm... maybe it was one of Santa's? Thanks for the smiles today, Loll!
