Coloured images really pop on black backgrounds, but it's difficult to get the same vibrancy from your markers or pencils when colouring on black card stock. Usually we colour an image on light coloured card, cut around it with scissors or a die and mount it onto black. But what if you're after a more seamless finish?
The answer lies in your marker box... that's right, a black marker! Obviously you don't want to be colouring a huge image, not only will it consume a considerable of ink, but it will also take a long time to complete. However, a card sized image doesn't take too long and gives a great result.
I think the Christmas tree looks a lot more vibrant against the black background, especially the red ribbon and pops of silver.
