This is my 1st card using the new "Beautiful Season" stamp set from the 2011-12 SU Catty. What a gorgeous set and so much fun to color. I actually Finally got the SU Watercolor Pencils, so colored the image with the Pencils and my Blender Pen. I stamped the image with Black Stazon onto Shimmery White CS. The pencils and blender pen worked beautifully without any "pilling". I did the same with watercolor paper, but liked the sharper image results with the Shimmery White CS.
Then I had the bright idea to Versamark the entire image and heat EB with Clear EB Powder. Wow....that really made the image and colors POP! I LOVE the results and will be making several for Christmas. I do LOVE to color :-)
Enjoy and Thanks for Looking and reading my rambling description. BTW...Roxie's SC layout worked perfectly for the chickadee image and sentiment...don't you think?!? thanks Roxie :-)

What a sweet, sweet card. I love what you have done with that set. The polka dot and striped papers make a perfect background. Wonderful job with the watercolor pencils.
