Yea! I have watercolor paper! Can't believe I'm first here though. Sorry Julia is have computer problems -- thanks for filling in, Lindsey.

Wow - This is fun....but I'm not a great watercolorer!!

Gorgeous samples, Lindsey! Thanks for filling in. Can't wait to watercolor!!

oh cool, thanks Lindsey!

Not a problem at all! I think it's fun to fill in! :D I am off to make a card too! :D

can't wait to play!

Thanks for filling in! We have a surprise snow day here in central NC, so I'll be on this challenge soon.

Don't have watercolor paper but I think I have shimmer white. Have to go look. :)

Hi Lindsey!!!!

I'm all over this one.......hehe

OH Yea!!! this will be more fun than I could wish for...

This will be my first time completing the WT challenge. It will probably be later in the afternoon when I get to it, but I'm really excited!! Looking forward to seeing everyone else's beautiful creations!!

Have some errands to run, then I'm gonna jump on it!

Thanks for filling in, Lindsey! I hope to play tonight after work!

Happy day - watercolour! Can hardly wait to get at it!

Woohoo! Gonna use another Bella for this one! Thanks Lindsey!

I'll be back hopefully with something lovely today. Thanks Lindsey for filling in!!

I'm lost.... Any tips?? Have none of the supplies mentioned!!!

I popped in from work to check on the challenge. I got tickled to see what it is as I use watercolor paper on 95% of my work. As a matter of fact....my hands get shakey and my right eye starts to twitch if I don't have at least two brand new unopened packages in stock as well as one opened one. I can't wait to play when I get home. Thanks for filling in, Lindsay!

Oh yeah! I love watercoloring...now to choose something...

great challenge. and, i'm off to mike's this morning, so i may just have to acquire some!

I guess I'll have to sit this one out since I don't know what to do!

Maybe I'll just wing it??? :)

Yippee, I finally just got a package - haven't used it except at convention!

Oh, I told myself enough of the challenges this week already, but I really want to try this one! Maybe DH will keep an eye on the boys just a little bit longer today ....
Can't promise anything too great...watercolor is still pretty new to me, but I love shimmery.....maybe I can do both! hmmmmm....

I'm with you Loree2000 I don't have any supplies either but I can't wait to see everyone else work. Thanks for the challenge jacksonbelle!

Here's mine. I took the easy way out and just colored. Can't wait to see what everyone else does!

oooo, fun!!! Love the samples. Thanks for filling in, Lindsey. I must go to work today, but will definitely find time for this one later.

I definately want to play along, but I was just headed up to the craft room (in our attic) when I crossed paths with a mouse. EEWWW! I had to kill it (double EEWW!) and now that has pretty much curbed all desire to head to the attic for a while, know what I mean? Maybe I can play tonight after DH, in his shining armor, inspects the rest of the attic for me. :) Thanks for posting, Lindsey!

Schweet! I haven't used my WC paper in awhile. *crosses fingers* I'm hoping my DD stays asleep just a little longer. :mrgreen:

Love watercolor paper and do not use it enough. Thanks for the push!

Looks like the challenge gallery is not working again today and we'll have to comment from this thread - poor Daven, et al - what a pain!

Good girl! You can do it!

Here's mine! Glad I could be at home to play today!

I made this card yesterdy and it just happens to fit today's challenge.

Ya know, I read all the time in the forums where people get upset about other people "stealing" their ideas and taking credit for them. Well, here is a prime example. I made this card thinking that I had ingeniously come up with something original. Later last night I decided to check the gallery under "martini", needless to say I was WAY wrong. However, the point is that I didn't CASE this idea at all, but there were at least 6-7 cards with the same concept as my card.

Hmmm...I wonder how often this has happened and someone gets slammed for "stealing" someone else's idea??

Something to think about...;)

For those looking for some help, there are about 5 different tutorials on using Watercolors in the Resources section:

Hope this can at least help get you started!

Nice thing is, you don't even have to use watercolor pencils or crayons. I used markers on mine (I am in the process of getting a picture taken, then I will upload) then I took my aquapainter (you could use a watercolor brush or a squirt bottle) and lightly traced over it to give it a softer look! You can use anything! :D

YES! Do, just use what ever you have! We want everyone to play! :D
