Hi, everybody ~
I want to thank you for such nice comments on this card. Coloring on glossy cardstock is new to me.
I just learned you can use watercolor crayons or Twinkling H2Os on glossy stock. With a light touch of water on the brush, it works beautifully. The background shading was done with a Twinkling H2O turquoise well-watered-down to give a light color. The bird's body was down with a mixture of Copper Penny and Yellow Rose H2Os. The snowy leaves were colored with Signo white gel pen, and the berries are done with cardinal red calligraphy ink dotted with a toothpick.
