Today I'll be venturing out of my comfort zone and actually let you all know what I sound like (eeek). Let me starting by saying that this will be my very first video tutorial ever and well... I hope it is useful, otherwise you can watch it as comic relief :).
Our tutorial today is on how to color digital stamps. The reality of this is that there are as many ways to color them as you can imagine in your mind. You can even print the outlines out and color them by hand if you like the feel of pastels or coloring pencils and ink. I will be showing you the method I have used on the sample piece of our "It's for the birds" set.
Here is what the final result will look like:
For this tutorial you will need to choose: 1. a color swatch from which you would like to work (or you can use the default one on Photoshop) and 2. a set of watercolor/paintstroke brushes. Below you will find a few different links for both.
COLORS: You can find great color inspiration and swatches on a few of different places, here are some:

WATERCOLOR / PAINTED BRUSHES
The set I have used on my sample is by Cindy Doerkson at Digiscrapwarehouse:
