First Burn on Paper

I had read where you could practically burn on anything!!! So I thought I would try my hand at burning on paper and NOT causing it to catch on fire and burn my house down.
I had some watercolor paper that I had bought to do some art card things to sell on ebay (well that didn't fly so well because I am no artist lol). So since that didn't pan out, I thought I would try a burn on it. And this is what I came up with. I found a scroll saw pattern that my husband had and traced it onto the watercolor paper and then burned.

After I burned it onto the paper, it just looked really bland, so I figured I would color it in. I used watercolor pencils to color it in and came up with this.
