Well, I braved posting my first ZIG colored card. I finally colored in my charts that I downloaded from Dina's blog, and they are wonderful. It really helped to see the colors on watercolor paper. I am working slowly on this new color medium, and it's so different from Copic markers...ha! But it was fun, and I even did a very light color wash around it. I ended up just adding a Soft Sky mat and calling it quits. I really wanted to add some splatter or pearls...or even Nuvo drops. But I stopped! Yay for me! I did struggle with the coloring and don't think my shading is the best, but practice will hopefully help with that using the ZIG markers. But I do love them. So this is CAS for me, and I hope to do more CAS. It sure helps making more cards...and sending them! Isn't that one of the big reasons we started making cards?
Thanks so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We are having beautiful weather today after a heavy downfall yesterday (which we desperately needed). Hugs! xoxo

Oh Cheryl you did a fabulous job with those Zigs. This just could be more beautiful. I've had my Zig markers for over a year and I have had too many failures to count. Wish we could color together!
