I stamped in black ink onto mixed media paper and heat embossed with clear. Then watercoloured the image using Distress Inks (listed below in the supplies). I added a wash of diluted Faded Jeans at the end. In hindsight, I should have watercoloured the background first or sponged. It would have been easier. :)
To finish, I splattered with diluted white pigment ink. Once the splatters were dry, I stamped a sentiment (Festive Snippets - Penny Black) in black ink.
Ink: Black (Momento); Distress Inks: Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Rusty Hinge, Faded Jeans (Tim Holtz); White Pigment ink (SU!)

I lovelove this image and your coloring looks fabulous to me! You've shown it in a lovely wintry light. In fact, you made me look up the stamp again and add it to my wish list. I never feel bad about being excessive with Penny Black. Thanks, Loll!
How sweet is this image, love your watercolouring, nothing wrong there! :)
Loll, don't rethink any of the choices you've made here - LOve your water-y wash of blue and those berries look amazing! This image landed right into a shopping cart today - can't wait to play!

Great card. Love the image and the colors. I don't think you need to change anything.
I love your new stamp - such a sweet image! You did a great job watercolouring it, berries and all!
Oh, I like this image! You might force me to go shopping, Loll! Pretty card, the watercoloring looks good to me!
Oh My.....Your watercolored Penny Black Image is Adorable, Lolly:-) Thank you so much for sharing, my friend:-) Love and Big Hugs...Nancy
This image is so refreshing, it makes me imagine the chilly air outside while enjoying the warmth inside! Your water coloring is perfect but I can't wait to see a marker edition too
Such a gorgeous FLOW Loll! Oh my gosh, I love it in watercolor!!!
This image is adorable and you've painted it perfectly! What gorgeous coloring!!!
I usually do the background wash last but I'm re-thinking that now that you mention it. Your watercoloring is beautiful with this image, Lolly! Such a sweet image, my friend!
Gorgeous! Love the image and you’ve coloured it beautifully xx
This is so sweet, Loll. Your coloring is wonderful and I love the way the background turned out.
What a lovely image and your water colouring is perfect, as are your splatters xx
I have a real soft spot for Robins and this is a really pretty image and beautifully watercoloured as always Loll and this is a gorgeous Christmas card. I am rather a night owl and when I go up to bed I often open the window and listen to a robin in a nearby tree singing away. x
So very sweet and artistic!
