OMG......what a thrill to have a 3 hour watercoloring playdate with my upline and longtime friend leslierich. Leslie is an awesome teacher and I am so pleased with my image. We used good quality watercolor paint brushes and lots of water to get the effect. We put a dot of ink from reinkers onto the little circle inside the SU ink pads. The image is stamped with black Stazon onto 140# watercolor paper. You brush just water onto your image staying within the lines. Then start dabbing ink along the edge of the image and watch the ink magically work its way into the center of the image. The trick is to dab and make sure you use blenty of water. Just keep adding color and brush to blend. It all takes practice, practice, practice. Thanks again Leslie for your patience and time. I really, really appreciated it :-)
I also was able to CASE a card from the new FS stamper.......sparklegirl. Silke has a wonderful gallery.

This is beautiful!!! Your watercolouring is fabulous! You make it sound so easy, but I don't think I could achieve such wonderful results. I think I am still on a paint by numbers level, lol!!! Wonderful case and it certainly was a very popular one to case; I chose the same one, lol!!
