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.

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!
Awwwwwww...it was worth all the extra effort on this one Loll as it turned out beautiful! Your background looks perfect to me and I love all the different colored berries too! Of course that sweet little birdie steals the show...beautifully done my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is just darling! I need some more Penny Black images--I just love these plump little birds, and your image is so beautifully colored.
Your watercoloring is so soft and dreamy and perfect for this NBUS image, Lolly! It was definitely worth the effort! Hugs, Dolly
