The easiest, and quickest, way for me to color in an image is to watercolor. However, this pretty little window scene could be colored in multiple mediums. The stamp set came in the Simon Says Stamp March kit of the month along with the paper pack I used for the background. I stamped the image with a medium grey distress oxide ink instead of black and I love how soft the colors turned out. (Supply list is below.)
