This is an awesome technique! Thanks for helping us stretch our supplies!
Your card is simply amazing! It looks soo easy too! I can’t wait to try it! I especially love the grid lines..unfortunately I don’t have any. I’ll have to see what I can come up with to duplicate the effect. Thanks for a great video!
This is so pretty!
This looks like fun! I love the depth you created with the darker and lighter color inks! Great video!
Love this card! Can’t wait 2 play!
Very nice ring also! Not only is Turquoise my favorite stone, it’s my Birthstone also!
Great idea and card Dawn!
CONGRATULATIONS Andrea, for winning last MIM.
Thanks for the wonderful video Dawn. Love the technique

Watercoloring is my favorite technique and Dawn makes it look even easier. I love not worrying about going outside the lines. Great card!
Great video Dawn! Great to push ourselves!!
Thanks for the great tips. So many combinations with all the ink pads I have. Where do you get that grid paper….I love it.
What a great technique, Dawn! You always make great videos, and this was very inspiring…and so relaxing! 😀
Pretty card, Dawn. I have the guidelines cardstock too so I have to try this technique!
Patti – PTI sells the guidelines cardstock. Search for grid and you should find it.
I am loving everything and anything watercolor and I’ve learned a lot from watching this video! I’m *running* to my scraproom to make a card for this challenge! Thanks for sharing Dawn, love your work and videos 🙂
Ooooh that was fun! Thanks Dawn for inspiring, and for all those who make these challenges great!
really enjoyed this technique
Very creative! I just happened to stumble across your blog and was surprised to find a very nice video. I have been looking to incorporate ink stamps into my finished and printed photography as sort of a watermark, this video inspires me to look further.
so sorry enter the same photo twice 🙁
Thanks for choosing me to win.
