I've got this set ordered. I saw it and fell in love with it. Did you use watercolor paper or regular Whisper White? Who says Copics are a must? I don't think this could be colored any prettier than what you've done.

Gail...I did use watercolor paper. It makes it easier for the coloring but it was a little difficult on the sentiment since the sentiment is so "cursive-y". I used 1 whole piece of our watercolor paper and did the stamp at the top and the sentiment at the bottom all on one piece.
I used markers and blender pens and mostly outlined the clothing and then used the blender pen to drag the color around to create the lighter color. This method always works best on the watercolor paper as it doesnt "pill" like on the white or other papers.
