Thanks Rox and "Justcrazy" for a great and easy sketch! I used my Woodland Santa and Forest Background stamps from High Hopes. I had thought I would do a watercolor, so I stamped it on WC paper. However, I somehow forgot my first intention and started coloring with Copics! Copics worked really well on the wc paper, so I didn't mind. The only thing I had to "fix" was after I was done, the background was too dark. So, I took some light Prismacolor pencils and went over areas I wanted to lighten. The texture of the paper actually added visible texture to the look of the trees, so I liked the effect.
TFL today!

What an amazing amount of coloring and I do love the texture your wc paper added. Great color. I love those adorable red and white brads. They are a fun finishing touch.
