This is for JeanneS HYCCT 'Pretty Pink Balloons' challenge. I'm sorry Dina that I copied your Pooh & balloon idea, but I did use a different image. I saw yours & HAD to look for one of my own! I love the free coloring pages. I printed this on w/c paper & from now on I may print digis on w/c paper. The ink hardly smeared at all! Unlike when I use regular cardstock. Sooooo, I began my watercolor using good old school Crayola paints - you know the set of 8 in the yellow container? Yeah, those. Anyway.... I painted the log, the hunny pot & Pooh's shirt with those. Then I used distress markers on acrylic block for Pooh & some of the log & 2 balloons. A third balloon is red Crayola & white acrylic paint mixed. I really like how this turned out. I may decide to keep this for a new grandbaby's first birthday. I'm thinking a 1 would look cute in a balloon.
Thanks for stopping by & sorry for the ramble.

Pooh Bear always brings a smile to my face, and I know your card will give its recipient the same reaction! You've done a fantastic job coloring this sweet image!

I find printing on watercolour quite satisfactory for the few times I want to use digis - it's just hard to find some light enough to go through my printer. I love your Winnie-the-Pooh with his happy pink balloons.
