I was gifted with some new paper from Jennifer that offers a new approach to watercoloring. It is a synthetic paper and, therefore, is quite different from pulp papers. This is my first attempt using it....I still have lots to learn, but I enjoyed seeing how it reacted with the reinkers and water.

Wow, Sallie, love the "different " look you achieved with this new paper! No doubt you will be 'learning' a lot more as you continue to play with it! This first attempt looks as though you have been working with it a long time, it is so dream-like! Keep up the awesome inspiration!!

Gorgeous!!! I knew this medium would work for you, Sallie! But then you have been blessed with a wonderful talent. I cannot wait to see what you do with the variety of alcohol inks. Yes, this "paper" doesn't like heat, but you can use a little, and it does die cut beautifully. Be forewarned, it also doesn't like pigment inks (they don't dry), but stamping with inks such as Staz-on should work, just put it aside for drying. I should have sent more!
Beautiful, Sallie! I love the misty look of the BG and the white you added to the flowers! It looks like there isn't much texture to the new paper, but more of a smooth finish.
