Thank you, thank you for the instructive video! With all the new watercoloring techniques, I’ve been privately hoping for some help. 🙂 Although I’ve been working at it, I’m grateful to see my favorite designers sit and watercolor, a card panel. Maybe Dawn could watercolor with her Zigs. (Hint, hint). Thanks again Betsy, your card is lovely.
Beautiful card! I love this technique! Thanks for the video!
OHhhhhhhhhhhhh…in LOVE with it!
SUPER Gorgeous..what a great idea…
Thanks for the gorgeous inspiration and for the fun challenge!
So pretty, will have to try this one
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this. I usually use Gelatos or Distress Onks on my stencils and I need to change it up a bit. Thanks for sharing!
