On the Lookout

Hi everyone.  Today I pulled out my Zig Watercolour markers.  Haven't used them for quite a while.  This is a NBUS stamp set that I've had for a while ... happy to be inking it up! :)

Stamped the image and sentiment in Obsidian Black Pigment ink (Altenew) and heat embossed in clear before watercolouring with my markers.  I tried to paint the pup the same colours as Jessie (she definitely has more white on her).

Close-up ...
Sending this card over to April Rudolph Days - Anything Christmas Goes.

And also sending over to NBUS Challenge #49 ---- first time inking up this image. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

What a fun image and love your watercolouring, and with a nod to sweet Jessie's pretty colouring. I also love that cute rat sat on the back of the chair. I'm not so sure I would be so keen to see one in real life sat on the chair looking out of my window..lol. x

I love the colors you choose for your cards, loll. They're always so vibrant. This couple of friends looking out for the evening star in the sky is so cute.

Oh, gosh, this is cute! I recognized the resemblance to Jessie right off the bat. Such sweetness! I have a picture of Wally just like this... but he was looking at a deer through the window. Hmmmm... maybe it was one of Santa's? Thanks for the smiles today, Loll!

What a sweet scene, Loll! The Jessie-like pup is so adorable! Your coloring is wonderful and the shine of heat-embossing is pretty!
