After a few hours of coloring this with pencil I had a senior moment and colored the sky baby blue ruining all contrast. So I scanned the artwork and digitally enhanced it by removing the blue color. It worked. Added some distressed scraps to the background, a little hardware and some easy stitches. I splattered white acrylic paint using a small brush. Thanks for looking

Wonderful job!! Love all of the shading with the pencil and the pop of red, not to mention all of the other fabulous details- the "snow", stitching, layering, distressing- just love it all!!!

Oh my goodness gracious me this is STUNNING. Nancy this is truly a work of art. I can't believe what you have created using pencil. I love all the "extras" - background layers, stitching, brads, paperclip, all of this is PERFECT and has gone straight into My Favs. WOW!!!
