Well this was a fun sketch today and I did not do much coloring. The image was stamped with Distress Vintage Photo and then brushed with water to make some of the ink bleed. There is iridescent ice powder on the snowflakes and clear Gelly Roll pen on the scarf and berries. Unfortunately those sparkles are not showing but they are there.
Thanks for taking a look.

Oh, how darling, Becky! I just love this little image (and it has a cute little bird too), and what a great idea to use the distress ink and water. Love it! (I've got to get working on my Christmas cards!)

This is adorable. A wonderful vintage Christmas card. Love how your spritzed your image to make the ink bleed. I never thought of doing that. And I love the burlap. TFS
