I just lost my very detailed description in cyber space...funny that the first words of my description involved me marveling that everything just magically worked on this card. I will be back later to rewrite my description. Right now I have to put this tablet in a safe place before I throw it on the ground and stomp on it - or else my next card will have all sorts of creative bling on it... shattered glass and computer parts.
Well, I am back, and it only took about 15 minutes. I am still aggrivated but not violent. As I said before, this was a card where nothing was planned and it just worked out. I love the theme for this week's MMTPT .. a walk in the woods. This is my second card. I will decide which one to send to a teapotter sister and I need the other one for a thank you. I had this coloring page image that I really wanted to use, however, I was also being inflexible and just had to use watercolors. You can use waterproof ink with stamps, but not when you have to use the printer to get your image onto watercolor paper. I resized the image using the printer and printed the scene onto scrap paper. While looking at the image, I tried to estimate where to paint the watercolors on a blank piece of watercolor paper. Then, I held my breath, rubbed a rabbits foot, and crossed my fingers while running the image through the printer. Oh happy day! It worked. Using a small brush and watercolors with very little water, I fine tuned the painted image. Added highlights with a white gel pen. I wanted to use the SC for this week, so I made a color copy, cut it while leaving a little white border, and popped it up with pop dots. I needed beads for Lisa's WT challenge. I often mention that my coat closet is like Mary Poppons carpet bag. You never know what you will find in there. Sure enough, there were beads and beading wire. I strung the beads and looped the wire around the twine. TFL, Francie
