“There are so many different coloring techniques out there today.  Watercolors, colored pencils, chalk pastels and alcohol markers are just a few of the many options available to paper crafters.  This week we are challenging you to create a new project featuring your favorite coloring technique!  I chose watercolors for my card today.  Not only do I adore the look, but the speed in which it can be finished speaks to my love of instant gratification!”
