This is tea bag paper and it is very delicate, but I love the staining in it, and it took a variety of coloring media very well. I started with watercolor, which mostly went through the paper, but stained a few areas nicely. Colored pencil also did well, with a careful touch (use Prismacolors, if you have a choice!). Tip - you can color on the front and back with pencils too! Zig Real Brush markers seemed to work the best. I didn't try alcohol markers but those should work fine as long as they're compatible with the ink you use. I used new-to-me stamps from Red Lead Paperworks and I'm simply in love with this adorable fairy.

Oh, I think I'm going to LOVE hearing about this tutorial, from what you've said already, Dina! This is SO SWEET! Red Lead was a company I heard about almost from the beginning when I started stamping! SO GLAD you found them, Dina! LOVE how the coloring on this is SO DELICATE! This has a storybook feel to it! ;)<3
