Ladies, your projects are GORGEOUS!! Just commented through the gallery up to this point... loved going through and seeing so many different ways to work this challenge out. Keep those cards coming!!

[elmo98ca]

I tried my hand at this one and here is the result:

Don't Be Blue

Thanks, Dina, for the video on all the techniques! I have always been in awe of your mad coloring skills.

[momof5sons]

Dini you are amazing! I have never done anything like this, and I know I need work but boy did I have fun!! Here is my Watercolor Dreams card.

[vdutchr]

What a FUN challenge! Well done on the video Miss Dina -- excellent techniques~

Dina it's so nice to hear your voice after all these years! :-) I love everything you shared in the video, going to get out my watercolors and play now!

Used some papers that I'd made for the mix challenge to finish a love fest card. Flip Flap Fold For You and For You Inside

Another card for this challenge, Dini, this time I used the technique of watercolor bleed -

I had many failed attempts in many color combos to make a watercolor BG that I liked before I decided to flick my medium into the water.

[Hallupino]

Here is my card for both recent Mixability challenges:

[inkpad]

I've finally finished a card for one of these challenges. The challenge inspired me to make this piece of background paper last weekend but I just converted it into a full blown card today.

Watered Vine Street

PS: Awesome challenge!!!

[hollerinastamps]

I think I'm going to like these challenges, Dina! You're helping me try new things. Here's my card Lovely Anniversary .

[stamphappy1650]

Fun - fun- fun

Here is my journal cover The actual colors are really vibrant and the Silks Acrylic glaze actually has a metallic sheen that doesn't show in the pic.

No to go through the gallery to see all the wonderful creations

I had to come back and say that I sure didn't follow everyone else - I used water soluable and did blend, but way different. Oh well...

[steadybeadin]

I spent HOURS yesterday playing with stamping markers and watercolor pencils for this challenge. I decided the markers were not a good idea. The pencils have hope. I'm not giving up just yet.... The funny thing is I just colored a bird with my watercolor pencils for a prior challenge and I liked it. Don't give up on me, I'll post something, lol

[marney]

Have been bouncing around in this challenge and love what I see. I am definitely going to try something.... Great things to learn and try Love it!!!!!

[marney]

My first attempt at mixed media.... I have done folk art in the past but this is so fun.. Not sure what I am doing yet but here it is. I am going to start a Art Journal I think

Thanks for the head's up on your challenge Dina! It's great!!

[susanbri]

This is over a week late, but a 9 year old friend taught me a neat technique on the weekend with water, dish detergent, and food colouring so thought I'd make a card with the resulting background and post it in this challenge - a bit of an unorthodox technique, but we certainly used water to make colour move! Here's my card:

Poppies on a Soapy Watery Background

[dini]

Love it! And "late" does not exist here - please feel free to play along with the challenges whenever you want!

I wanted to share this link that I've had open for a few days - so many more fun watercolor techniques!!

Dini, I loved this video. Can you tell me a little more about the re-inkers you used in the beginning of your video. They appear to be small jars of color? I'd love to know where to look for these. Thanks.

[BobbiesGirl]

Here's my card. Late, but here.

The reinkers I use are from Ranger - they come in little squirty bottles or dropper bottles. I just keep mine in an empty watercolor paint palette so they're easier to get to - squirt a few drops in each little well.

Most of the ones I have are from this line:
