The Ways To Use It 96 challenge is to use watercolor paper. That's an easy one for me as I use watercolor paper all of the time. If you like using actual watercolors, watercolor pencils, or WW crayons, you can't beat watercolor paper because the grooves in the paper catch excess water so much better than smooth cardstock. I watercolor a lot because sometimes I don't want the color-soaked look of markers but I have yet to master the prisma/gamsol technique.
This is the prototype for what I'm going to make for a birthday card swap I'm in. I love these Living Large gals -- they're so cute. I used Watercolor Wonder crayons to color the image. Thanks for looking!

Your card is soo cute! I just got the Living Large stamp set, mounted it, but haven't got a chance to use it yet. So, whenever I see a really cute card done with it, I *have* to put it in my favorites! This is just adorable.
