Once upon a time ..

I finally received my Thomas Kinkade stamps which were delayed because of some slowness (!!) at Customs Canada!!!! Cornish Heritage Farms, suppliers of these beautiful images has closed their images, so I had to "ramp up" my purchasing cycle and order everything at once ... oh well, that's my cross to bear!  Regardless, I was anxious to colour one to see how difficult it would be because of the enormous amount of detail -- surprisingly, it wasn't that hard --- I imagine I'll get better as time goes buy, but for my first shot, I'm pleased.  Not sure if the picture will show the sparkles I put in some of the water - it's hard to see in real life too!
