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.

OMG, Nancy! You turned this into the most absolutely fabulous card! What a pretty layout and colors you chose to go with your beautiful image. I can't wait to see more of your watercoloring. You're an excellent student!
Beautiful card, Nancy! I love the wheelbarrow full of flowers and your watercoloring is so pretty! The scallops, brads and ribbon are wonderful finishes!

Oh my gosh Nancy, this is just stunning! I am so proud of you and I know you especially enjoyed your class with Leslie. The wheelbarrow is so beautiful and I love the ice crystal brads on this card. The taffeta ribbon is the perfect touch!
