I used several different Markers, including Midnight Muse, Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple from the new In Colors, as well as Cajun Craze and Early Espresso. I scribble the brush tip of the Marker onto the lid of my stamp set to lay down ink. Then I use the Aqua Painter to use this ink for coloring the image. When everything was dry, I added some Dazzling Detail to the apples in the back of the truck and then used a Crumb Cake Marker in the Spritzer Tool to add some speckles.
{Inside} I had water colored another small image of the water spigot from this same stamp set, so I used it for the inside of this card. I am linking this card to the Operation Write Home Blog - be sure to check them out!

Mary, this is super gorgeous! I like your idea of heat embossing the image before coloring; must try that! Great job.
