This was my first time doing a Thomas Kinkaid. He is an incredible artist and I worked hard on this vignette. I have learned that with these stamps the right amount and even inking is key! Once I got that down then it was on to my watercolor pencils. It may be hard to see but I did cover the church with crystal effects and it gives it a nice shiny appearence, I think.
I stamped this on the SU watercolor paper and I am happy with the results. I used the SU DS paper from the holiday catalog. I got inspiration from other SCS (as always). Thanks for looking.

This is beautiful! What ink did you use for the image? Did you use water on it, or did you just use the pencils dry? This is one of the best coloring jobs I've seen of these stamps. Great job!
